Race to the Sun (Rick Riordan Presents) (MG)

Nizhoni Begay is having a tough time in seventh grade, her old normal school she was different for being Navajo.  Her new reservation school she is different for being different.  Than when her dad brings home his new boss, Mr. Charles, Nizhoni see that he is a monster something only she and her brother know she can do.  But when Nizhoni sneaks home the next day to get her forgotten lunch she see Mr. Charles and his henchman kidnapping her dad, that is when Nizoni, her brother and her best and smartest friend Davery decide to go after him by way of their Navajo ancestors. 
This is such a good book, especially if you like hearing different lore, this book is Native American Indian lore, and if you read carefully you can catch several different stories in there.  I love these diverse, woke books we need many more of them or the stories will die as you hear Nizhoni talk about.  We can all be keepers of the stories we just need to listen first, and hopefully you do to this book as it has a lot to teach us all.
