Sheine Lende by Darcie Little Badger
4.5
While Elatsoe didn’t live up to my high expectations (everyone said I’d love it), Sheine Lende certainly made up for it.
Shane is a wonderful confident main character I couldn’t help but like. She cares for her friends and family deeply and it shows. Shane’s mother goes missing and is left to care for her younger brother who isn’t quite in school yet. She doesn’t complain about it at all or let him feel like a burden. She’s patient with him and encourages his curiosity.
This book celebrates Indigenous storytelling. Shane is Lipan Apache and cares for her culture by sharing her family's history with those around her. While there isn't a lot of world building, the tiny snippets we get of a world like ours (but with magic and paranormal creatures) worked.
A beautiful and charming read.
The narrator Kinsale Hueston was amazing and did a wonderful job at giving this book a voice.
Rating: Loved = 4.5 stars
