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
 

 
Moccasin Thunder by Lorie Marie Carlson
 

 
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
 

 
Night Flying Woman by Ignatia Broker
 
 
Wild Inferno by Sandi Ault
 
 
Neighbors by Joan Leslie Woodruff
 
 
 
You can find all of the above titles at your local library, or available at Barnes & Noble.com, Amazon.com, and all independent booksellers. 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
 
Happy reading!
