Salt: A Story of Friendship in a Time of War by Helen Frost
4.0
James, an American boy, and Anikwa, a Miami Indian boy, are friends, even though their communities sometimes clash. But as war marches towards them, a war that will be devastating for both families, can their friendship survive?
This novel in verse switches perspective between James and Anikwa, giving a look inside both historic cultures. There's a lot to unpack here and I'm not sure it's the type of book that will be hugely popular among kids, but I could see it being a great book for the classroom, opening up discussions about cultures and history and poetic form and symbolism.
Read for Morris Seminar. 2013 pub date = not eligible for 2015 Newbery
