Description

Winner of the Canadian Children’s Book Centre Choice: Best Books for Kids & Teens
Dave gets more excitement than he bargained for on his summer holidays to British Columbia’s Gulf Islands while visiting his grandparents. He meets THAA, WEN, an elderly member of the Saanich Native Band and Rick, a new friend from Mayne Island. Together they discover an old Native campsite and THAA, WEN tells stories of the raiding parties that swept down the west coast long before the first white man arrived. Adventure begins when Dave is caught up in a search for the truth about what happened long ago at the ancient site.
