Tecumsehs Artifact

Twelve-year-old Ronnie has just made the difficult decision to live for a whole year with his crotchety great-grandfather instead of in a boarding school. Now, stuck in an old house in Ontario, Ronnie wonders what he has gotten himself into as he and his ninety-year-old roommate constantly clash. But Ronnie has no idea that one evening after being sent to the attic for punishment, he will make an amazing discovery that will change his life forever.

Ronnie has been haunted all his life by a spirit bear who now seems to be leading him straight to the corner of the attic. Frightened, Ronnie summons his great gran'dad to help him empty a mysterious leather bag he finds inside a dresser drawer. After a necklace tumbles out, Ronnie holds the artifact and is suddenly propelled back in time to the War of 1812 and into the body of one of his ancestors, who has been adopted by the Indian war chief, Tecumseh. Now trapped between the past and the present, Ronnie must overcome great challenges in order to return both the artifact and the bear to their rightful places.

Tecumseh's Artifact is a tale of friendship, family, and compassion for others as a boy travels through an exciting period in history and learns more about himself than he ever imagined.
