Peacemaker

Praise for Peacemaker
“The included stories allow Bruchac to share much about Iroquioan family life, culture, and worldviews, and should put to rest the numerous errors to be found in Longfellow’s poem 'The Song of Hiawatha.' Told with grace, this will be welcomed in history classes and those look for successful examples of nonviolent anti-bullying strategies.”—Booklist

“Bruchac brings a fresh point of view to this briskly told fictionalization of the Iroquois Confederacy’s beginnings.”—Publishers Weekly

Praise for Joseph Bruchac
"Cal's cleareyed first-person narration drives the novel. Meticulously honest, generous, autonomous and true, he sees things for what they are rather than what he'd like them to be. The result is one of Bruchac's best books." —New York Times Book Review on Two Roads

* "A tautly paced and compelling story of self-discovery, family, belonging, and friendship." —The Horn Book, starred review of Two Roads

* "A tale of depth and universal humanity. . . . This is a strong middle grade novel that offers a needed perspective on Cherokee history and the life of a key historical figure." —School Library Journal, starred review of Talking Leaves

* "Readers who choose the book for the attraction of Navajo code talking and the heat of battle will come away with more than they ever expected to find." —Booklist, starred review of Code Talker

"Nonsensational and accurate, Bruchac's tale is quietly inspiring." —School Library Journal review of Code Talker
