Description

Fast Of The Family TreeFour of the highest powered families around the world are in conflict: the Sylvesters, arctic investors in the highest paying armory dealership; the Mallicks, universal hackers and programmers, are almost impossible to find; the Yeungs, Chinese scientists obsessed with reaching outside the limits of the human brain and body (and taking any measure necessary to achieve their goal); and the Fasts, though small in number, are the most lethal weapon of

Four of the highest-powered families around the world are in conflict: the Sylvesters, arctic investors in the highest paying armory dealership; the Mallicks, universal hackers and programmers, are almost impossible to find; the Yeungs, Chinese scientists obsessed with reaching outside the limits of the human brain and body (and taking any measure necessary to achieve their goal); and the Fasts, though small in number, are the most lethal weapon of FAST, Factotum Agency of Solidified Trust.

 Rivals for power and control, the Yeung family succeeds to manufacture an underground corporation of “the new beginning” for mankind. A stronger, faster, more fearless race of weapons in war. One that could overthrow humanity as a whole.

 Ten-year-old, Raven Sylvester, born and raised from the Sylvester family line, meets Silica Fast, a mysterious woman who devotes her life to protect her. Never seen without a gun in hand, Raven soon learns Silica is not only an underground agent but family, and maybe the only chance they have at uniting the four power families and ending the reign of the Yeung family name.

 Family is not defined by blood or position. It is by whom you love, and who loves you. The loyalty, sense of security, and trust people develop with one another.

About the Author

museum quality
Format: Paperback
This is a kid's book, which is well illustrated, and useful. I have worked as a storyteller in schools. Kids of all backgrounds love native stories! All of Joseph Bruchac's books are high quality, museum pieces, just really good, the apotheosis [ideal] of what a storybook could be like. gives a very good description of the native lifeways around stories, and gives another view of native storytelling. is another book that gives you native context, by an author who also has native storybooks in print, including . Entering into native lifeways is not necessarily judgeable by white man culture, as shows. One thing one notices in native cultures is that they ask new questions, something like one sees in . I find native metaphysics to be similar to Quantum Mechanics. While not a native book, gives some ideas on how life would work, from that perspective. has stories about tricksters, which are not dissimilar to native stories. teachingdrum.org used to have a list of books of native stories, which is the most comprehensive I've seen. That is a nonprofit, and I have no connection with them, this cites the info resource only. All storytelling is fascinating. is one example of European stories about animals, which are not totally dissimilar. Stories are fascinating. If you want to entrance, train, entertain, educate, and improve children, nothing is faster or easier than storytelling.

Wonderful book for many reasons
Format: Paperback
I recommend this book for its story, cultural accuracy, and high interest action. First it is an exciting story of how conflicts arise and can be resolved with an exciting lacrosse game at the end. How cool is that? But the cultural and historical details make this a fascinating read for all ages. If you want to know about the lives of Native Americans in the New York area, written by a Native American, and put into an historically accurate story, this is a great read. I would recommend this as a high interest type of reader for middle school readers, one that would challenge them as well. The story could be about conflicts today, but the action is naturally more intense. If you are looking for an accurate portrait of Native American life, Bruchac is a wonderful author for you to choose. It is hard to find good books about northeastern Native Americans.

Engaging and educational
Format: Paperback
We really enjoyed this book as a family. My children were enthralled with characters and depiction of life in a Longhouse village. We supplemented this book with others about the Iroquois Nation and East Coast Native Americans for our homeschooling unit. It was a hit.

Great Story about Native Americans before Europeans
Format: Paperback
I read this book with my kids (11,8) as part of our unit on Native Americans before colonization. They both really enjoyed it. It helped to humanize history for them and show them that although the cultural practices were different, the characters experienced some of the same feelings, relationship challenges, and personal struggles and triumphs that we experience today.
