As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Rez Ball by Byron Graves
Rez Ball is a boy book. I did like the story but there is fbombs and drinking but it is a big part of the story. It ran authentic and true. It also shows how people can be prejudice against Indigenous people. Fine for high school.

Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley
Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley is a book that should be added to high school libraries, it highlights the indigeonous people, working to get back ancesteral artifacts and remains. This book feels authentic and brings you into the story by the perspective of Perry, a teen girl who is learnign more about her tribe then she ever thougth she would and about herself as well. She takes dangerous risks to make things right, She is in more trouble then she realizes. A good read and I would also recommending audiobook version just to hear the cadence of the speach and hearing the story.
