Ghost Hawk

In the winter of his eleventh year, Little Hawk goes deep into the forest, where he must endure a three-month test of solitude and survival which will turn him into a man. But outside the woods, the world is changing. English settlers are landing on the shores of the New World, and tensions between native tribes and the invaders are rising. Little Hawks fate becomes irreversibly entwined with that of John, a young English boy who dares to question intolerance. He is witness to a secret murder will he now be witness to bloodshed between nations? SHORTLISTED FOR THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2014
