It’s 1866 and just like the bird that is his namesake, Chickadee is small and clever. When Chickadee’s twin brother pranks Shigaag, the tribe’s ne’er-do-well, Shigaag’s unruly, bumbling sons kidnap Chickadee as revenge. He’s taken farther from home than he’s ever been. But Chickadee is not afraid because he remembers the saying his grandmother taught him: small things have great power. To find his way back to his home and his family, Chickadee must make a daring escape, forge unlikely friendships and set out on the most exciting and dangerous journey he’s ever taken.
