Legendary Frybread Drive-In: Intertribal Stories by Cynthia Leitich Smith
This intertribal, interconnected series of short stories centers around the Legendary Sandy June's Frybread Drive-In that emerges anywhere at any time such a space and connection is needed. Don't go in with expectations of what the Legendary Drive-In is. It's not what you think, and that's what makes each story especially interesting. How will it show up? What purpose or role will it serve? How will the characters get there?
Like every short story collection, some pieces are more compelling than others, and that's what makes them great. There are stories of first love, of changing cousin relationships, of what it means to be Native, of the ways food tie people to ancestors, and so much more. The stories are all stand alone, but they also all come together in little ways through one another. This one is perfect for readers wanting to read more Native voices, especially if they loved the middle grade anthology edited by Leitich Smith, Ancestor Approved.
