(3) 4-6 Upset by his father's remarriage, Kendall (from Enchanted Runner) mysteriously travels back in time to visit an Acoma village at the end of the sixteenth century. The teenager learns more about his Native ancestors as he participates in a traditional snake dance ceremony and witnesses the tribe's horrific massacre by Spanish conquistadors. The well-paced novel provides a detailed account of a little-known historical event.
