A collection of indigenous stories about 12 people who are unknowingly connected and about to collide at powwow.Incredible and poignant,this was an amazing book that brings to light part of America‘s atrocious past and how it still impacts native Americans generations later.Full of historical details and personal traumas.This is not an uplifting story,but the best historical fiction works aren‘t cookie cutter happily ever afters.

Lovely article about kids reading There There in the classroom - and Tommy Orange visiting.

A Bronx Teacher Asked. Tommy Orange Answered. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/18/books/tommy-orange-there-there-wandering-star...

ncsufoxes My son read There, There his senior year of high school. After he graduated we moved cross country & we drove from CA to MA. When we were driving through AZ outside of the Grand Canyon he remarked how seeing what was described in the book in real life was sad & shocking. He said it really made him understand Orange more. 9mo

OhNoMersault This article was great. Amazing to see teens so immersed in the work. 9mo

Jas16 Thanks for sharing. 9mo

This novel is one of the great loves of my life. It reads straight through, with lots of characters, and my new favourite activity is to reread chapters at random. The chapters work as their own short stories and part of a whole all at once.

Plus, I MET THE AUTHOR THIS YEAR AND HE WAS SOOOOO COOOOOOOL 😍🥰🥰🥰 10/10 would hang out for a long chat, and he gave superb book and podcast recommendations ❤️

This was a great book- the format was really interesting and allowed the readers to feel connected to the characters. He is such a poetic writer. Also the plot line was great- would absolutely recommend

This was an incredible read about Native Americans living in Oakland. It was about belonging and identity centered around multiple characters who all attended a powwow at the end of the story where violence ensues. 5/5

I finally discovered (it‘s apparently been up for a year) 🤦🏻‍♀️ a little free library in my neighborhood & just about a mile away from my house. I left 2 books & a few book stickers & took the tagged book, which I have been wanting to read. 📚💚

marleed I love finding a new LFL on my walking path. I see the Colleen Hoover in there! I discovered CoHo by picking a book from a LFL and then as I continued my walk another CoHo in a second LFL. I decided the book gods were telling me to read that author! 2y

DebinHawaii @marleed There are not very many near me, so I am excited this one is so close! Maybe if the Colleen Hoover book is there next time, I‘ll view it as a sign too! 😂 (edited) 2y

5feet.of.fury 😍 there‘s 2 near me but they are usually more kids book oriented, I still check them every now and then tho 2y

BarkingMadRead Ohhhhhh it‘s such a happy looking LFL and that was a really good book! 2y

BarkingMadRead Also…. Did you know there‘s an app for that? It has a map function with the addresses of the LFL in the area. Not all of them, because I guess not everyone registers them, but it‘s been so helpful to me! 2y

DebinHawaii @5feet.of.fury Yes, the other one close to me is at a grade school & it‘s pretty much all kids books! 😂 2y

DebinHawaii @BarkingMadRead I do have the app—that‘s actually how I found this one when I realized I hadn‘t checked in quite a while! 2y
