    About this audiobook

    A new work of historical fiction about Sequoyah and the creation of the Cherokee alphabet, from the acclaimed author of Code Talker 

    Thirteen-year-old Uwohali has not seen his father, Sequoyah, for many years. So when Sequoyah returns to the village, Uwohali is eager to reconnect. But Sequoyah's new obsession with making strange markings causes friends and neighbors in their tribe to wonder whether he is crazy, or worse-practicing witchcraft. What they don't know, and what Uwohali discovers, is that Sequoyah is a genius and his strange markings are actually an alphabet representing the sounds of the Cherokee language.

    The story of one of the most important figures in Native American history is brought to life for middle grade listeners.

      It shares the Native heart of determination to prevail against such terrible atrocities done to their race in the name of "manifest destiny".
      Most hopeful is the sacredness of language is to a people and a culture and the gift of its preservation that insures the Cherokee Nation will never be lost.
