A Texas teen comes face-to-face with a cousin's ghost and vows to unmask the murderer.

Elatsoe--Ellie for short--lives in an alternate contemporary America shaped by the ancestral magics and knowledge of its Indigenous and immigrant groups. She can raise the spirits of dead animals--most importantly, her ghost dog Kirby. When her beloved cousin dies, all signs point to a car crash, but his ghost tells her otherwise: He was murdered.

Who killed him and how did he die? With the help of her family, her best friend Jay, and the memory great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother, Elatsoe, must track down the killer and unravel the mystery of this creepy town and it's dark past. But will the nefarious townsfolk and a mysterious Doctor stop her before she gets started?

A breathtaking debut novel featuring an asexual, Apache teen protagonist, Elatsoe combines mystery, horror, noir, ancestral knowledge, haunting illustrations, fantasy elements, and is one of the most-talked about debuts of the year.

Can't wait to start this book!

This title was one I have been wanting to get for quite some time, and being able to get it from an indigenous-owned book site makes it even better. Thanks a ton!

So far so good

When I was recommended this book by Goodreads and Amazon. I had to see if my favorite Indie Store had it. It is so good. The storyline is well written, it is definitely a stay up all night read and the topics are definitely older middle school to adult grade level. I will be reading more books by Darice Little Badger.
