The Heart of a Chief Reprint edition
Joseph Bruchac
Chris's life is complicated. At school, he's been selected to lead a project on sports teams with Indian names. At home, on the Penacook reservation, the Indians are divided about building a casino. It would destroy the beautiful island Chris thinks of as his own. Is there anything one sixth-grade boy can do?
"Chris's compelling voyage of self-discovery is grounded in everyday events...allowing readers to see into the heart of this burgeoning chief."
-Publishers Weekly
"Readers who see injustice in their own lives will admire how much Chris accomplishes with a simple message of respect."
-Booklist
