Stone Man
And the Trail of Tears
By Charles Suddeth
Driven to Stone Man’s trail...
After U.S. soldiers attack twelve-year-old Tsatsi’s Cherokee village, his family flees to the Smokey Mountains. Facing storms, flood, and hunger, they’re forced to go where Stone Man, a monstrous giant, is rumored to live.
His family seeks shelter in an abandoned village, but soldiers hunt them down. Tsatsi and his sister Sali escape, but Sali falls ill and is kidnapped by Stone Man. Tsatsi gives chase and confronts the giant, only to learn this monster isn’t what he seems.
Their journey is a dangerous one. Will Tsatsi find the strength to become a Cherokee warrior? And will they ever find their family?

Juvenile Fiction: Boys & Men/Legends, Myths, Fables-Native American/Historical-United States-General
“The scenery was wonderful and I loved the action-packed scenes. As sad as the story was, I liked how all the characters were still hopeful and did not give up. We should all have the mentality of these characters. I adored the ending and it warmed my heart! 5 stars.” – Pages for Thoughts reviews
"The story starts off at a frantic pace and doesn't let up, sure to pull in readers who normally don't read historical fiction. The ending is perfectly executed.” - Greg Pattridge, Always in the Middle reviews
“This is a historical adventure which draws in and allows the reader to feel as if they are really there.” – Tonja Drecker, author of Music Boxes
“I found this story enjoyable, educational, and inspiring. It inspired me to reach out to others and help people in need, even if they’re strangers” – The Wood Between the World reviews
Charles Suddeth loves to tell stories of all sizes and shapes and flavors. He has published picture books, middle readers’ books, young adult thrillers, and adult mysteries. Of Cherokee heritage, he draws inspiration from hiking Tom Sawyer State Park and teaches in Louisville, Kentucky.

Big kudos to Charles! I don't know much about the Trail of Tears. I watched a show (maybe a movie?) a long time ago that had a minor subplot that talked about it. I remember they talked about the white roses growing from the tears of the mother's. So sad.

Hi Diane - I'm sure Charles' book is really informative about a very challenging time for many. I read Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the birth of the FBI - also very interesting - it taught me a lot. Good luck to Charles, and to you Diane for publishing and promoting his book ... cheers Hilary
Happy Thursday.
Are you still watering?
Yes! It hasn't rained in weeks. Not more than a sprinkle.

I get the Trail of Tears mixed up with The Oregon Trail
Congrats on the new book release!!!
I know very little about the Cherokee Indians and the Trail of Tears. Congrats for the new release!
Congratulations to Charles on the release of his book. And congratulations to Dancing Lemur Press as well! The Trail of Tears is a shameful event in our nation's history.
Congrats on the release. I hope it brings you much success. :-)

I think the Trail of Tears is something that's only touched on briefly in history classes. I think a lot of us don't even remember learning about it in school, which is sad. Congratulations to Charles!
Congratulations to Charles Suddeth on the new release!
Congratulations to Charles. I know little about Cherokee Indians and the Trail of Tears. Sounds intriguing.
Congratulations to Charles!
Charles shared some wonderful recipes from the Cherokee when he stopped by on the tour.
Congratulations & Good Luck Charles!
If ever an army of walking dead arises, I want Stoneman on my side.
