![]() ![]() I love this story, and not just because it’s a funny, brilliant page-turner with unforgettable characters and an ingenious quest. Charles has sought out the Begay family because he considers Nizhoni some kind of threat. Charles, the rich guy who is offering Nizhoni’s dad a new job in Oklahoma, is not human. Nobody else seems to notice, but Nizhoni is pretty sure that even Mr. She can barely manage to hang on to her one good friend, Davery, and prevent her artsy younger brother, Mac, from getting beat up by his nemesis, Adrien Cuttlebush.Īnd as if that weren’t enough, Nizhoni has another small issue. ![]() Her chance to become a sports superstar ends with a basketball in the face. She just wants to be good at something, to get some respect at school. (her first name is pronounced Nih-JHOH-NIH and means “beauty.”) In many ways, she’s a typical New Mexico seventh-grader. Even if you already know something about traditional Navajo tales, you’re going to squee with delight, because you have never experienced them like this before. Thanks to Rebecca Roanhorse and Race to the Sun, you’re about to plunge headfirst into the fabulous, scary, wonderful story world of the Diné, also called the Navajo. ![]() If those names don’t ring a bell, you’ve been missing out on some of the coolest stories anywhere. Uncle Rick writes a powerful endorsement of Rebecca Roanhorse’s epic tale. Tomorrow’s the big day for the next Rick Riordan Presents adventure. ![]()
