Description

Named an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults

From the author of the award-winning Ender's Game comes the unforgettable 
story of young Alvin Maker, the seventh son of a seventh son.

Born into an alternative frontier America where life is hard and folk 
magic is real, Alvin is gifted with power, but he must learn to use 
his gift wisely. Dark forces are arrayed against Alvin, and only a young 
girl with second sight can protect him.

Reviews
AudioFile Magazine...
Set in an alternate America in which the Revolutionary War never occurred 
and George Washington was beheaded for treason, this story introduces 
a new series about a gifted young man. Young Alvin Maker has many close 
calls with death, but unseen forces protect him. The book uses a collection 
of narrative voices to tell this intriguing tale, each of which is presented 
by a star narrator. They pass the story among themselves seamlessly. 
Through the ranting of a preacher, the calm recounting of the visions 
of a young woman who can see the future, the stories of a tale swapper, 
and the musing of Alvin himself , the narrators make the characters 
vivid and move the plot along smoothly. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland,
