Race to the Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
4.0
3.5 stars
Race to the Sun is a middle grade novel about a Navajo girl named Nizohni who discovers that she can see monsters. It turns out that her dad's new boss who is visiting from out of town is one such monster and so Nizohni's adventure begins.
We had high hopes for this one that the book didn't quite live up to. This tale is woven through with lots of Native American folklore and mythology but the story didn't 100% grasp my 10 year old son's attention.
