Book Description
Ghosts aren’t meant to stick around forever... Shelly and her grandmother catch ghosts. In their hair. Just like all the women in their family, they can see souls who haven’t transitioned yet; it’s their job to help the ghosts along their journey. When Shelly’s mom dies suddenly, Shelly’s relationship to ghosts—and death—changes. Instead of helping spirits move on, Shelly starts hoarding them. But no matter how many ghost cats, dogs, or people she hides in her room, Shelly can’t ignore the one ghost that’s missing. Why hasn’t her mom’s ghost come home yet? Rooted in a Cree worldview and inspired by stories about the author’s great-grandmother’s life, The Ghost Collector delves into questions of grief and loss, and introduces an exciting new voice in tween fiction that will appeal to fans of Kate DiCamillo’s Louisiana’s Way Home and Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls.

Book Description
A family, separated by duty and distance, waits for a loved one to return home in this lyrical picture book celebrating the bonds of a Cherokee family and the bravery of history-making women pilots. At the mountain's base sits a cabin under an old hickory tree. And in that cabin lives a family -- loving, weaving, cooking, and singing. The strength in their song sustains them through trials on the ground and in the sky, as they wait for their loved one, a pilot, to return from war. With an author's note that pays homage to the true history of Native American U.S. service members like WWII pilot Ola Mildred "Millie" Rexroat, this is a story that reveals the roots that ground us, the dreams that help us soar, and the people and traditions that hold us up.

Book Description
During the early part of the nineteenth century, an American statesman surveyed the vastness that was untamed America and predicted, "When the last Indian has bitten the dust then we will have a thousand years of peace." The states had won their independence not many years before and the most obvious threat to peace at the time were the wild Indians who roamed the vast wilderness to the west. Now, the years have passed since that early prediction and the nation has gone through many threats from within and without. The 'last Indian' has either long since bitten the dust or put down his arms to became a part of the American scene. But the utopia hasn't yet arrived and its coming is nowhere in sight, for the people who look for perfection in humanity make the serious mistake of overestimating the humane quality in the human race. Freedom we have, The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we have. But, utopia? No. Frontiers of hatred have either opened up or have been renewed from olden days so that there are always those 'Indians' to be attacked before they attack you. Every minority bears the brunt of majority persecution to some extent. It runs the range from pettiness to lawlessness, It caries the lablel of suspicion, jealousy or sheer ignorance. If men would just stop to search their souls, they would see crystal clear through many of the glaring inequities in the logic of their civilization. People forget that every group is a minority, that the Baptists are a minority in some places, the Catholics in others, the Jews in many, and the Caucasian race is a minority in the total world population. Since we can't talk about all the minorities in the world, this story is resticted to the telling about just a few of those 'indians' who haven't yet bitten the dust of reality.

Book Description
Indian Country is a sweeping, brave and compassionate story from one of our most acclaimed chroniclers of the Vietnam experience. Christian Starkmann follows his boyhood friend, an Ojibwa Indian called Bonny George, from the wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where they roamed, hunted and fished in their youths, to the wilderness of Vietnam, where they serve as soldiers in the same platoon. After returning home from the war, his friend buried on the battlefield he left behind, Christian begins to make a life for himself. Yet years later, although he is happily married to June, a good-hearted social worker, and has two daughters, Christian is still fighting--with the searing memories of combat, with the paranoid visions that are clouding his marriage and threatening his career, and most of all with the ghost of Bonny George, who haunts his dreams and presses him to come to terms with a secret so powerful it could destroy everything he has built.
