I
really enjoyed this youth novel set around Sequoyah's Cabin, an
historic site near Sallisaw, Oklahoma.

Conrad
has a given young readers a good story combining a mystery with some
history and relationships between students. Bryan meets some quirky
students right away. Youth readers would, I am sure, identify with
the jealousy and the other intense feelings experienced by Bryan's
acquaintances. There is a strong Christian theme that runs through
the book too.
I
like a novel in which I learn something. In this case it was about
Sequoyah, also known as George Guess. He built a cabin in 1829 and it
was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. Sequoyah
developed a written alphabet for the Cherokee language, a syllabary.
I
recommend this novel too young teen readers who like reading a good
mystery while learning some very interesting history.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
