In one sense, almost all of Eckert's fiction is related to Incident at Hawk's Hill, since he researches and then recreates a historical incident according to the standards of the novel. Although he wrote none of his books especially for young readers, two that use the same approach as Incident at Hawk's Hill would undoubtedly prove interesting to the young reader as well: Blue Jacket: War Chief of the Shawnees tells the story of Marmaduke Van Swearingen, a white man who was captured by Native Americans and became a chief, and Johnny Logan: Shawnee Spy tells of a Native American boy raised by white settlers.

The "Mesmerian Annals," a series of novels beginning with The Dark Green Tunnel, may also appeal to young adults. This series uses the science fiction genre to explore human nature.
