Only eleven- year- old Jeb, a year younger than Lexi, seems like someone she can talk to. Jeb, like Lexi, is a misfit, an outcast in his own family. He is fascinated by the Indian way of life, and confides to Lexi that he has heard of a small band of Onondagas living in a hidden valley in the nearby mountains. He introduces Lexi to his part- Indian friend Trueblood, who is the storyteller who has fueled Jeb's dreams. Jeb admits that he plans to run away and join the Indians, whose values he admires.
