I was excited about this story at first and appreciate the details about oral storytelling tradition. However, the storyline felt awkward and disjointed to me. It’s marketed as a YA but felt much more like elementary age level. There were also too many challenges going on in too many places at once.

This book is wonderful! Magical realism meets Lipan Apache folklore to create something truly special. I especially enjoyed Nina's use of technology and Oli's sheer determination and how they intermingled to make something new. Usually books speak poorly of technology so it was nice to see one utilizing it (mostly) for the better. Please do the audio version! Oli and Nina each have their own narrators. In related news, Kinsale Hueston (Nina's voice) is one of the best newer talents in the business. Seeing that she was a narrator is what sold me on this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for a preview copy of the ebook and eaudio in exchange for an honest review.
