Eagle Song
EAGLE SONG by Joseph Bruchac. Puffin, 1999.
Moving from the reservation to New York takes a lot of adjustment for Danny Bigtree. He is the target of taunts from his 4th grade classmates. However, when Danny's father comes for a classroom visit, slowly attitudes begin to change. Danny takes it upon himself to make peace with the school bully and try to model his behavior after the great peacemaker of his Iroquois ancestor. <413>
