"I loved this book. It really helped me visualize how the story was taking place. Even though I don't believe there is such a thing as "Copper Sunrise", I think it is pretty cool. Overall, this book is an excellent book."

"This book was great! It really seemed like it was written a long time ago because Bryan Buchan uses words like 'savages.' Not suprisingly, this book caused a lot of controversy between the Natives."

"This is a sad story about two boys who can not be friends because Mr. Craven the boss thinks that the Beothuk natives are heathens and savages which they are not — they are beautiful people who respect every culture. It was great!!!!"
