I see you have a copy of "Seven for a Secret", a book I am desperately searching for a copy of. Can I ask where you found yours? Thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up about The Broken Flute. I don't know that book, but I do have another book, probably 15 years old at this, that's a great guide to teaching Native issues to kids, including a lot of reviews of what's out there and how awful most of it is.

Loved your review of Incognegro. I think you're right that some readers will find the level of sexual, ritualized violence fantastical, when in fact it was like this and worse. The illustrations show mainly adult and teenage men at these public torture spectacles, when in fact families came as picnics. Glad you took time to review it -- just trying to get my books entered in is taking up precious reading time! Have you read Joe Sacco's graphic nonfiction work "Palestine"?

I just LOVED those books in junior high - and am really trying to find all of them for my daughter. The only way I've been able to buy them is through Amazone used - and they are all library copies.

Saw you have at least one Bagthorpe family book - love those, too!
