Light in the Forest (The) Study Guide PDF
by Conrad Richter
True Son is forced to return to his family from whom he was stolen. Can he learn to love them as he does his Indian father or will his rebellious attitude ruin everything?
Barbara's Notes: I chose this story because of its 'untidy' ending and the focus on True Son's rebellious attitude. Not a 'feel good' story. (Grades 6, 7, 8)
