"Hidden Roots" focuses on the greater impact that the

generations of Abenaki that followed had to deal with.

Readers will learn about the loss of identity, history and

culture; lack of self worth and fear that Abenaki people

were feeling, and still feel today. Middle grade readers

love to see life as "being fair", and will totally understand

that life is not fair in this story. This is a book that should

be read in every middle school class, so that this history

will not be forgotten, and never be repeated.
