Fiction

It's a YA book, so likely will finish before the end of the week. Hoping it is a good fit for the Marginalized Voices class next school year. I don't have a Native People's novel yet (Erdrich is the obvious choice, but given the population of the class, her style might make it hard to access for most kids--I will have it as an option for the better readers).

So far so good. Protagonist is a junior in high school. Her boyfriend (and family) make racist comments about Native People's so she cuts that off but there are clearly ramifications. Plus her brother is hitting some casting issues for the school play that will clearly develop more into racism exploration. About 20% in and a solid read. Author writes like the lawyer she is (I'm married to an attorney, so I recognize the style).
