HTML: New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith turns to realistic fiction with the thoughtful story of a Native teen navigating the complicated, confusing waters of high school â?? and first love. When Louise Wolfe's first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It's her senior year, anyway, and she'd rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper's staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director's inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students â?? especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou's little brother, who's playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey â?? but as she's learned, "dating while Native" can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joe No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The writing was good on the sentence level, but felt choppy overall at times. Transitions between scenes and chapters were sometimes a little disorienting. You might be able to attribute that to the first-person narration. Louise has a lot going on in her life -- on top of all the stuff every teen deals with she carries that double consciousness that can come with belonging to a marginalized group. She doesn't just suspect that people around her are racist -- they full-on are. If I had a boyfriend who was straight up openly racist in front of me, I'd be worried about what I did to make him think that he could get away with it. Louise quickly ends the relationship, but it takes a toll on her.
As the title suggests, this is a story about resilience, not just Louise's but her family's. I loved Hughie her little brother and both of her parents. I was not as drawn into the love story, but I imagine it will appeal more to teenagers. (
