I was looking for info on Mohawk indian myths when I stumbled onto this middle-grade story featuring a young heroine who is Mohawk, and finds herself encountering a frightening character from tribal mythology. This was a fun, refreshing read. The young heroine lives in the modern world, goes to school, her father works at a bank, her mother does aerobics: in other words, the story does not dwell on her indian heritage. Yet the plot does bring that element in, in a way that makes the story fun and also gives us a main character that anyone can relate to. I enjoyed it very much!

Skeleton Man Joseph Bruchac 9780064408882 Books Reviews

Was purchased for my 8 yr old. She said she liked it, but it was a little scary. Cant judge this myself, as I havent read it.
Nice
I have chosen to give this book 5 stars because its wonderfully told and keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time. I would recommend this book for teens who like mysteries, also some I Native American folklore.
Quick read that seems to entertain 10 to 14 year olds.
perfect!
Creepy, book, but this is the book that got my daughter reading, so I am grateful for that. I just wish it had been something not so dark.
I remember reading the skeleton man myth (or something very similar) when I was a child. The chilling memory of the myth stayed with me for 25+ years and was immediately recognizable in this story by Joseph Bruchac. He has done a masterful job of intertwining the myth and modern story, giving the novel a depth that is unusual for children's literature. Perhaps this is what makes the story so scary--the sense of believability that he manages to create.
For those who have read Coraline, you will find the plot lines similar. However, as much as I like Gaiman's work, his version lacks the underlying background to give his story the level of depth and reality found in Skeleton Man. Perhaps children with weaker stomachs would find Coraline to be a gentler scare.
