But when he arrives at the store, a librarian offers the shopkeeper more money for the shoes than Ray has to spend. Kids may have trouble sticking with this collection. . Ages 7-10. From Publishers Weekly Ray Halfmoon, a Seminole-Cherokee boy living with his grandfather in Chicago, is at the center of Smith's (Rain Is Not My Indian Name) slim collection of six tales. In the title story, Ray tries to take the edge off Grampa's homesickness for his native Oklahoma by buying him a pair of Seminole moccasins, which the two spy in an antique shop. The boy then trades the woman his own hightops for the moccasins (which, says a grateful Grampa, "put me in the mind of bein' back home") and the woman displays the sneakers in her library, labeling them "Cherokee-Seminole Hightops." In other selections, the duo cares for neighbors' pets on Christmas Day, Grampa finds a solution to the dreadful haircutCynthia Leitich Smith writes with wit and candor about what it's like to grow up as a Seminole-Cherokee boy who is just as happy pounding the pavement in windy Chicago as rowing on a take in rural Oklahoma.. What do Indian shoes look like, anyway? Like beautiful beaded moccasinsor hightops with bright orange shoelaces?Ray Halfmoon prefers hightops, but he gladly trades them for a nice pair of moccasins for his Grampa. After all, it's Grampa Halfmoon who's always there to help Ray get in and out of scrapes -- like the time they are forced to get creative after a homemade haircut makes Ray's head look like a lawn-mowing accident.This collection of interrelated stories is heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funnyMight have been useful for a paper but too dry for me to really get what I needed out of it. This guide is superb! I picked it up because I wanted to know more about massage and acupuncture for pain relief. In my 7 years of post secondary education, I can honestly say this is the worst book I've ever had to read.Why?1. In it, you’ll find lots of interesting, occasionally funny, tidbits about The Cure’s history, like the Billy Idol toilet incident, or he and Robert’s constant altercations with skinheads. This can be either a militia unit (with 5/6 P/G), a mercenary unit (4/4) or a house unit. The pictures are wonderful. These are not your average Marvel comic book heroes-these are heroes with character, heroes with baggage and plenty of faults, just like your average human.I normally don't read super hero books but this short story compilation was a very pleasant surprise.. Excellent read! Very well written book with the right balance of detail and depth - it far surpassed my expectations.. The value of this book is in the good descriptions of the many therapies that exist. I could not put it down except to sleep and drive (otherwise there'd have been a terrible wreck!).The author, Kevin Conley, delves into realm of studs' lives. The book operates on both an intellectual and pop cult
