LoginSkeleton Man
Description:
b/w illustrations by Sally Wern Comport.
Told from the present-tense perspective of a contemporary youngster whose father is Mohawk, this terrifying young-adult novel is rooted in a traditional story told among the Algonquian and Haudenosaunee peoples of the Northeast. In the oral story, a cannibal ogre hides its face from the child it has stolen to fatten up. Here, Molly—with her understanding of the story, trust in her dreams, and the help of family and community—figures out how to destroy Skeleton Man and rescue her parents. Young readers will not be able to put this one down.
