Nov. 30, 2009 CodeTalker by Joseph Bruchac 5/5
I just reviewed (Dec.3) Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway by Kirkpatrick Hill about the Yup'ik Eskimos in Alaska.
Also my November MG book of the month is about a group of Guatemalan Native people (the Quiche), Journey of Dreams.
All in all, I read some fabulous books this month and I don't intend on stopping. Remember to read books about Native Americans all year round :) I still want to read Sweetgrass Basket by Marlene Carvel, Rain Is Not My Indian Name by Cynthia Leitich Smith and anything by Joseph Bruchac!
24-Hour Read-A-Thon
Tonight at 11 PM CT I will start my read-a-thon and continue till 11 PM tomorrow. The real read-a-thon starts tomorrow (Sat.) and continues till Sunday. I will do another post once I start reading and share a list of my books that I'm reading. Wish me luck!
