The Way

  • Interest Level: Grade 6 - Grade 12
  • Reading Level: Grade 7

Fatherless Cody LeBeau is an American Indian boy who is starting high school with the usual trepidation. He fits into none of the cliques at the new school, but somehow keeps being noticed anyway—and is often teased because of his tendency to stutter. Then his Uncle Pat, an accomplished martial arts sensei, moves into the town and becomes the one who shows Cody “the way” through the maze of adolescent doubt and into manhood.

Author: Joseph Bruchac

Joseph Bruchac was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, and grew up in the Adirondack foothills. He began to take an interest in his Abenaki heritage when he was a teenager.

Performing as a storyteller allows him another way to preserve his Abenaki culture.

“Bruchac’s descriptions of martial arts’ mental and physical practices have the ring of authenticity.”
