Kirkus

A great introduction to Native American history that’s not too heavy for its young audience and is a solid read in its own right.

Starred Review

Here, the ghost of Pushmataha, revered Choctaw chief and U.S. Army general during the War of 1812, ushers Isaac through time travel. Tingle's prose is straightforward and focused while still visceral and imaginative.
