You probably know the story, if you've seen the movie at least. This is a story of Hawkeye and his Mohican family in pre-revolutionary American times. The Brits are fighting the French, there's a Huron Bad Guy, plenty of action and texture and a girl, of course. There's not much complexity here, and a 5th grader could zip through this and enjoy it, but it's fun. I liked the movie too.
