A middle-grade novel by James Bird about a boy sent to his Ojibwe family to straighten out his life.
Benjamin Waterfalls comes from a broken home, and the quickest fix hea's found for his life is to fill that emptiness with stuff he steals and then sells. But hea's been caught one too many times, and when he appears before a tough judge, his mother proposes sending him to "boot campa€ at the Ojibwe reservation where they used to live.
Soon he is on his way to Grand Portage, Minnesota, to live with his father - the man Benny hasna't seen in years. Not only is "boot campa€ not what he expects, but his rehabilitation seems to be in the hands of the tribal leadera's daughter, who wears a mask. Why? Finding the answer to this and so many other questions prove tougher than any military-style boot camp. Will answers be enough for Benny to turn his life around and embrace his second chance?
