Welcome to Litsy!

Like Bruchac's Eaglesong, this novel focuses on an Iroquois boy who is trying to adjust to a new school where he is the only Native American student. While it can be considered a sports book due to the importance of lacrosse to the plot, the story doesn't give play-by-plays, which I'm thankful for. The focus on lacrosse gives the story and protagonist a more defined personality than Eaglesong. #diversebooks #nativeamerican #ownvoices

#uniquefact back before I got winded walking from my bed to my fridge, I played lacrosse. As a nerdy loner kid in high school, I had few happy moments, but my sophomore year my lacrosse team won the state championship. It is still one of the best memories I have & 2 of my teammates ended up as my bridesmaids and we wore our state champ rings for pictures. #PlayLikeAGirl #bookphotochallenge #augustofbooks

"Darris liked the old stuff." Even worse, this book is from 2003.
