The story takes place in Henry's Bend, a small town in Michigan, and while the background theme is of social prejudice that identifies the wrong person for a crime, the real story is of the friendship between an Irish girl, Jo Shannon, and Onata, a Chippewa. The story interweaves, subtly and realistically, issues of property, heritage, cultural differences, and uses Jo's ability to question things and work through her own -- and her friends' -- presumptions in order to live out adventures -- a fire, a blizzard, shooting a gun (almost) and becoming an honorary part of a Chippewa family.
That this story was written in 1957 is quite incredible -- it really is an exploration of Anglo and Indian children trying to understand each other's worlds, and manages to do so without getting heavy-handed and without sacrificing a really terrific adventure story where two young girls are shown to be independent, creative, and tough-minded about things that really count.
