Stronghold/Juvenile Fiction Stronghold was inspired by the author's children when they built their own forts in gnarled juniper trees, and by the discovery of ancient ruins nearby. Tribal rules required that the ruins be re-buried to protect them from decay and looting. Stronghold's hero, thirteen-year-old Joe Aberdeen finds himself in the middle of a dangerous adventure when he discovers looters in the act of pillaging. Being in a racial minority at his new school makes him anxious at first, but what rattles him is something else--there’s an eeriness about the ravens that seem to watch and discuss his every move. And then there are the ghosts. These and other challenges set the stage for Joe to take charge of his life as he solves a mystery and combats looters of Indian artifacts. Terri McIntyre taught writing and gifted classes for Navajo children for over twenty years. "Teaching children to cope with change," she says, "is essential in this age. I hope my book contains a few tools to help them do that." Ms. McIntyre lives with her family and the ravens in northeastern Arizona. 266 pages. Includes Glossary and Bibliography.A few occurrences of mild profanity.
