My Summer Reading List: Diamond Willow by Helen Frost

Diamond Willow by Helen Frost

In a remote area of Alaska, twelve-year-old Willow helps her father with their sled dogs when she is not at school, wishing she were more popular, all the while unaware that the animals surrounding her carry the spirits of dead ancestors and friends who care for her.

This is a native American story which combines myth with story. It illustrates the strong connection Native American people can have with Nature.
