Seventh Generation

Life is a mess. Trae lost his mom. He had to move from the reservation to New York City. Now, he’s having visions of burning rivers and a decaying world. What else could go wrong?

After his mother’s death from cancer, Trae and his father moved into the city. It seemed all his father wanted was to get as far away from the reservation as possible, forgetting their life there and the heartache of his wife’s death. Sometimes, it seemed to Trae, his father would like to forget him, too.

Trae had been told by some of his teachers that he was “crazy.” He had never believed them and told himself they just didn’t understand him and were too lazy to get to know him. After coming face to face with Ela, one of the Little People of legend, Trae starts to believe maybe he is as crazy as they had always accused him of being. As Trae’s friendship with Ela grows, his imagination becomes plagued by visions of burning rivers and a decaying world.

Is it an active imagination trying to come to grips with the death of his mother? Madness? Or an ancient prophecy coming to life?
