The lazy days of summer are always filled with fun and adventure, a great time for being out of school; no teachers and no home work. But, by the time those hot, summer days comes to an end, you are ready to get back to your school books, hang out with your school friends, and meet your new teacher because a new school year is exciting and holds a lot of promises.

However, to Wohali, the ten-year-old Cherokee Indian boy, the thought of changing his life style, and going to school for the very first time is not so exciting as he anticipates this new adventure; afraid of losing his identity and having to give up his Cherokee heritage in order to fit in, afraid that no one will like the new kid in school, leaves him worried, fearful, and anticipating the worst and dreading the unknown.

But, things aren't always as they may seem when we embark on a new adventure, or a new stage in life as Wohali finds out with his first day of school blues.
