Broken Circle

by Christopher Dinsdale

Angry at missing a week of summer video game entertainment, Jesse, a twelve-year-old boy of European/Native American descent, grudgingly follows through with his deceased father’s request that he join his Uncle Matthew and cousin Jason at Six Islands, on Georgian Bay, for a special camping trip. Uncle Matthew explains that Jesse’s father wanted Jason’s vision quest to be his introduction to their native culture. During their first night around the camp-fire, it is Jesse who has a vision, and the adventure begins. Not only is he swept back in time four hundred years, but he is transformed into a majestic, white-tailed deer. He must now survive the expert hunting skills of his ancestors while somehow rescuing his people before they are destroyed by warfare.

This story moves me on so many levels. I haven't read one quite like it before. Thank you, Christopher Dinsdale. I physically felt this book in my body. I need more stars to give.

Is there a sequel with Jason and Tutayac?

Perfect companion reads: Tim Tingles stories from the Choctaw nation. A great match for readers who liked this story. Also, everyone should read "Ancestor Approved."
