PURE AMAZINGNESS. I had to read this for school and I am so glad I did. Little Badger does an incredible job of intertwining Lipan Apache culture and the supernatural. We meet Ellie who has a beloved ghost dog and a strong sense of justice when she is called to solve her cousin's murder. Let me just say, it is not at all what you think. Navigating this alternate world was so fun. It's a place where waking up animals from the dead can lead to amazing things, but when you do the same for people, problems may arise. There's also evil vampires and faerie rings that teleport psychics to help save the day. I enjoyed this so much as an adult and I could see teens loving it just as much. There really wasn't a part that I didn't like.
