Great new selections in YA novels - Native American Theme

In addition to my series, 'The Borderlands Trilogy:' 'Gift of the Desert Dog,' 'Secrets of the Medicine Pouch,' and 'Coyote-meeter's Abyss,' I highly recommend the following new books, all with a Native American theme. They are well-written, sensitive, and timely works reflecting the amazing diversity of North American Indian topics and nations.

 

 

 

The Night Wanderer by Drew Hayden Taylor

 

 

The Lesser Blessed by Richard Van Camp

 

 

Blue Horses Rush In: Poems and Stories by Luci Tapahonso

I will begin a critical blog series on each of the titles shortly. Watch for my posts on Facebook, Twitter, and here at : http://www.desertdogblog.blogspot.com
