[RSCT] Native YA novel

[Debbie Reese]

Dear Colleagues,

Earlier today I posted a review essay of the YA 
novel, BEARSTONE, written by Will Hobbs. The 
essay is by a professor in American Indian 
Studies who was asked to visit a middle school 
class to talk about the novel. It is interesting 
for two reasons: first is her critique of the 
novel; second is her experience with the teacher. 
A thoughtful essay, it provides much to think about.
