Review: Good read for teens. - Good read for teens
Review: Great historical fiction - I bought this book for my son. I also read it. I really enjoyed it. I thought his experience at the Indian boarding school when he was a child was very interesting to read about. I guess I didn’t realize that a lot of Native Americans got their names in English by random people at these boarding schools picking them for them. It is also really interesting to read about how complex the Navajo language was and how it made such a difference in the war. It’s a really good lesson about diversity and how it makes our society better. I also thought the message was very positive and inspiring. Despite the fact that they weren’t treated as well by the US government, they were proud Americans and served their country. They were patriots to both the USA and the Navajo nation. The marines that were code talkers should not be forgotten, they should be remembered for the difference they made. I recommend this book to both adults and kids.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story for my students
*by M***S on May 13, 2023*

I taught this novel a couple of times in my 6th grade class. I believe the text complexity would be appropriate up through high school. There are many opportunities to learn about different battles during the war and makes a great companion to a social studies or history class. Additionally, the book provides windows and mirrors for students in which students can either see themselves reflected, particularly Navajos, or they can gain insight into the lives of Navajo families. I found it to be an inspirational story, yet very realistic. Spoiler alert: In the end, Ned/Kii Yázhí reveals that in spite of serving for his country, those things didn't matter and, oftentimes, didn't change people's narrow mindsets. However, it was up to himself, Kii Yázhí, to not let that affect him and persevere. It's a powerful lesson for students to hear. There are many themes woven throughout the novel. My students tracked these themes, and then presented a podcast on one of those themes, making connections to their life. My kids liked the book and loved making podcast. I'm a proponent for adopting this as a whole class novel in my current school district.
