When war erupts on the Minnesota frontier, childhood ends in a single terrible season. Thunder Birds follows white and Dakota boys and girls whose lives are shattered by a conflict they never chose-and whose courage and friendships defy the violent world around them. In the summer of 1862, hunger, broken treaties, and government betrayal push the Dakota people to a breaking point. Families who once traded, played, and worshipped side-by-side are torn apart overnight. Through the eyes of young protagonists on both sides, readers witness how neighbors become enemies... and how hope survives even in a season of fear.
