The Heart of a Chief

Description

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.”
