Jed knows what it will take to free the eagle he has nursed back to health. One carefully aimed shot from his rifle, and the reluctant bird will be startled into flight. But for Jed, the challenge to find and free himself is much more difficult. Can he learn to understand and take pride in his Native heritage? And, more important, will Jed accept his country's betrayal of his best friend? Eric Walters is a prolific author of books for young readers. Among his other titles is Caged Eagles, the sequel to War of the Eagles. Visit www.ericwalters.net for more information on Eric and all his books.
