I found this young-adult book fascinating. This author has some of the characters from her first book in this second book, but it can be read independently. I knew nothing about Native American reparations of their ancestors and objects from museums and colleges before this story. The added mystery of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) made this story one that kept my interest from the beginning until the end. I wish there were books like this when I was in high school.
