CBC Showcase: Native America

cover Worlds Apart

by Kathleen Karr

Fifteen-year-old Christopher West narrates this tale of colonists who braved the Atlantic to reach the New World of Carolina. He makes fast friends with Asha-po, a young Sewee boy his own age. Asha-po teaches Christopher to hunt, and Christopher teaches Asha-po to play chess. But before long, tension develops between the tribe and the colonists, with Christopher and Asha-po stuck in the middle.
