Back to the Sioux in 1876 America!

About the Book

Join Billy Brighteyes, a modern Sioux native-American boy, on an astonishing adventure as he is whirled back on a magic merry-go-round to South Dakota in 1876. There he has a crash course in Sioux culture, getting his own spirit symbol and being blooded before playing a crucial role in Custer’s Last Stand. When he is, finally, spun back to the present, he finds he has brought something back with him! This book is ideal for children aged about nine to fourteen and adults too who may be interested in native-American culture and history.
