Product Description:
When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania frontier and adopted by the great warrrior Cuyloga. Renamed True Son, he came to think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape, has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including fifteen-year-old True Son. Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to him as the ways of the forest are to them. A beautifully written, sensitively told story of a white boy brought up by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic.

The Light in the Forest is very sad. It's sad because it tells the story of the uncompromising conflict of ideologies between the English settlers and their Native American contemporaries.

I just completed reading this to my pre-teen kids, who enjoyed the story and who became particularly engaged as the complexity of the moral drama intensified in the final two chapters. There are many reviews on this page that summarize the plot, and I won't repeat everything except as is needed to make a few points in review.
It's a good book, although I got a little whiff of "PC" early in the book that was an initial turn off. The plot is built around the story of a white teenager who is being ... Read More

This book was so boring and everybody in my LA class hated it. It was so full of violence and hatred. I really don't want to read about that. True Son acted like a five year old but he was really fifteen. I'd much rather read Harry Potter books.
