There had to be more; And boy the drawing at the end of the book is the best part. The best parting gift knowing your grandparents will always watch over you. I’m reading A Snake Falls To Earth now. Hope it meets my expectations just as this one did.

This book was lovely and informative. The magical nature of the world brought into stark focus the reality of the deep-seeded racism and constant threat of violence Native Americans face every day. That, plus all the other horror elements, made this an uncomfortable read, and it was worth every second I spent spent on it. I very much recommend this book to anyone and everyone, for an adventure, for cultural understanding, and for the wonderful depictions of a loving dog.
