Overview
This beautiful coming-of-age story captures one young Powhatan boy's road to truly finding himself.
No matter how hard he tries, nearsighted Walnut just can't earn his adult name the way other boys do, by hitting a target with a bow and arrow. With his highly developed other senses, however, he shows he can "see what can't be seen" and earns a new name: Sees Behind Trees. But his special skill proves to be more important than he'd ever imagined when is invited to go on a journey to a mysterious land, a trek filled with unforeseen challenges and dangers.
Told with heart, this is a lyrical novel about an Indigenous boy searching for his place amongst his community.
"Set in 16th century America, this richly imagined and gorgeously written rite-of-passage story has the gravity of legend." --Booklist, starred
