While out hunting, Crooked Foot-a boy less than two-hands old-and his grandfather encounter Tawasiki, the-bear-who-roams-along-the-Great-Ice. Crooked Foot remembers nights gathered around the campfires. Old men-hunters from long ago-who loudly told many other hunting stories spoke only in hushed voices of this creature lest the animal hears their words and comes for them. The creature that everyone fears was here now and it gives chase. Crooked Foot is trapped in the debris of a long jam in the bend of the river while the bear paces overhead searching for him. How will he manage to escape? During the night, raiders attack Little Fawn's village. They intend to make everyone a slave of the despot Kam Udo. Can she come up with a plan that will free herself and her people? Can Waving Grass, daughter of Running Buffalo, Chief of the Attikamekey get help from Small Turtle in her search to find lost tribe members? By the time you reach the end of the book you will have answers to these and other questions.
Autorenporträt
Crooked Foot has had an unusual history. It originally started out as a short story. By the end of the initial storyline, it had taken on a life of it's own. Along the way certain characters demanded their own story be told. To accommodate this, the first draft of Crooked Foot had to be set aside while Bright Moon sang The Shaman's Song, and what an enchanting song it was. The lyrics of that magical tune still lingered in the ether when the baton was passed to Red Deer and The Sojourner's Tale became a reality. Now that those stories have been told, it is time to learn of the exploits of a young boy, Crooked Foot, whose determination never let anything stand in his way. The Ice Age Saga trilogy (The Shaman's Song, The Sojourner's Tale, and Crooked Foot) are all written as action-adventure stories meant to entertain readers of all ages. Notes are included to explain unfamiliar terms or expand on descriptions. These are not stories of what was, but more stories of possibilities, of what could have been. The author and his wife, both retired, have been married 45 years. They have three adult children and live in a suburb of Detroit.
