The Dark Pond -- Joseph Bruchac

<p><strong>Joseph Bruchac, the award-winning author of <em>Skeleton Man</em>, puts a contemporary spin on Native American lore to create a spine-tingling tale of monsters and darkness.</strong></p><p>What kind of sinister creature lurks in the dark pond in the forest? Armie can feel it calling to him . . . and he suspects the answer may lie in the legends of his Shawnee ancestors.</p><p>"Although it's steeped in Mohawk lore and tradition, Bruchac's story is contemporary both in its setting and its celebration of the enduring strength and courage of Native American women."<em> (Booklist)</em></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Joseph Bruchac<br><b>Publisher:</b> HarperCollins<br><b>Published:</b> 07/26/2005<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.24lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.50h x 5.26w x 0.36d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780060529987<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 4<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>80688 / Dark Pond<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Ingram Children's Advance</i> 07/01/2005 pg. 47<br><i>Kliatt</i> 09/01/2005 pg. 25<p></p>
