>From Joseph Bruchac (Abenaki)
  The Arrow Over the Door. 1998, b/w illustrations; Abenaki.
96 pages ages 9 to 13

Told in alternating viewpoints of two young men—Stands Straight, an Abenaki, and
Samuel Russell, a Quaker—during the time of the American Revolutionary War, this
well-told story, based on a historical meeting between the Abenaki and the
Quakers, reminds us that “the way of peace...can be walked by all human
beings.”
