Good representation, weak writing.
The story offers unique representation as the main character is mixed raced of Acoma Pueblo Native American and Jewish heritage. However, the storyline doesn’t function as a storyline should. It’s not interesting for adults and immensely boring for children.
It also incorrectly refers to American indigenous peoples as “Indians”, a Columbus era term Native Americans have long rejected. Good representation and definitely needed representation but weak execution.
