The story of Young-Man-Listens, a young boy captured from his tribe and sold to a circus troupe,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Last Renegade (Paperback)
A traveling sideshow is no way to live. "The Last Renegade" is the story of Young-Man-Listens, a young boy captured from his tribe and sold to a circus troupe, promoted as the Last Renegade, a vicious native chieftain. Miserable in captivity of cruel master McDuff, he finds that to find his freedom, he must make his character a bit more real to turn it against McDuff. "The Last Renegade" is a riveting story of a child rising up against injustice and becoming a man.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The Last Renegade,
This review is from: The Last Renegade (Paperback)
I just downloaded and read this amazing novel. Mike Kearby is right up there with Lois Lowry when it comes to weaving empathy into an engaging work of fiction.THE LAST RENEGADE should be required reading in schools all over North America.
