About this listen
Michael L. Printz Award Winner American Indian Youth Literature Award Winner Odyssey Award Honoree Featuring the voices of both new and acclaimed Indigenous writers and edited by bestselling Muscogee author Cynthia Leitich Smith, this collection of interconnected stories serves up laughter, love, Native pride, and the world’s best frybread.

That big green-and-gold neon sign beckons to teens of every tribal Nation, often when they need it most.

This anthology is so so so good in that aspect. Little me would have loved something like this for Latin American indigenious people.
I've learnt a lot about cultures and languages, traditions and folklore... and food! from this anthology.
I just didn't notice it was for a YA audience until the end, which would explain the sort of easy and predictable endings in the stories, the reason this is not 5 stars for me.
If the target audience is a very young one, I can understand that, but I think older teenagers and YA would appreciate a bit more of development.
But we all deserve happy endings, soppy representation and coziness.
Really glad I listened to it (it helped with the words in indigenous languages), and to have found it through the Goodreads challenges.
