Trouble - of the Northwest Territory

An ornery pet raccoon named Trouble & twelve-year-old Jeremiah find plenty of adventure in TROUBLE--OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY. The setting is in Ohio before it became a state, near the place where missionary David Zesiberger established a settlement of converted Indians & taught them how to live a Christian life. While Jeremiah struggles with acceptance of his parents' Christian values & the loss of his friends back East, Trouble's antics lead Jeremiah to a terrifying meeting with one of those Indians. It's all complicated by the fact that the new neighbor, sixteen-year-old Jedd, hates all Indians. There's plenty of excitement in the forests of Ohio & along her rivers as the boys learn about the spirit of forgiveness & other Christian principles. Even adults enjoy & learn from this book. Book review: There is a happy balance achieved by the author, making the spiritual elements of the story to be conspicuously evident without detracting from the exciting adventures that form the developing plot of the book. The book fulfills a real need for high-quality Christian reading for children & young people. We recommend it gladly.--THE SWORD OF THE LORD.Greegor, Katherine is the author of 'Trouble - of the Northwest Territory', published 1992 under ISBN 9780963309174 and ISBN 096330917X.
