Synopsis
In 1839, newly orphaned eleven-year-old Mary goes to live with her missionary aunt and uncle who run a school for Indian children in northern Michigan.

While staying with her aunt and uncle who run a mission school, 10-year-old Lucy notices that they impose a number of harsh rules and restrictions on the Native American children who attend the school. When a student named Raven runs away in protest, shy Lucy finds that she must stand up to her cruel aunt.

Publisher's Note
When shy, 10-year-old Lucy comes to live with her aunt and uncle at their mission school, she's surprised at the number of harsh rules and restrictions imposed on the children. Then a girl called Raven runs away in protest, and Lucy knows she must overcome her timidity and stand up to her aunt--no matter what the consequences.

Industry Reviews
With eloquent if predictable precision, the author recreates the tensions of early 19th-century Michigan. When Lucy's parents are killed, her gruff aunt and uncle agree to take her in and have her brought from Detroit to their home in Coldriver. Unsentimentally, they expect her to earn her keep at the mission school they run, where they teach Indian children good Christian doctrine and proper white ways. One girl, however, refuses to adapt and runs away, leaving Lucy to keep a big secret from her domineering aunt. While the climax of this book is frustrating in its patness (a crisis illness draws everyone closer), Whelan (Night of the Full Moon) manages to transport the reader into a believable and complex past, when manifest destiny drove adult actions and when girls still had time to admire the sunlit autumn forest and notice that "the maples looked as if they had been hung with hundreds of scarlet lanterns." Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 7-10. (Oct.)
