About this listen
Best-selling author Rick Riordan welcomes indigenous fantasy writer Rebecca Roanhorse to his imprint with this thrilling adventure about a Navajo girl who discovers she's a monsterslayer.
Lately, seventh grader Nizhoni Begay has been able to detect monsters, like that man in the fancy suit who was in the bleachers at her basketball game. Turns out he's Mr. Charles, her dad's new boss at the oil and gas company, and he's alarmingly interested in Nizhoni and her brother, Mac, their Navajo heritage, and the legend of the Hero Twins. When Dad disappears the next day, leaving behind a message that says "Run!", the siblings and Nizhoni's best friend, Davery, are thrust into a rescue mission, which can only be done with the help of Navajo gods, all disguised as quirky "rez" personalities. After a series of dangerous--and mind-bending--trials, Nizhoni, Mac, and Davery finally reach the sun god, who outfits them with the weapons they need to take down Mr. Charles and the ancient monsters he has unleashed. But it will take more than weapons for Nizhoni to become the hero she was destined to be....

Kids loved it!
Bought this for a long car ride with the kids (11 & 12) and the loved it. Great story, easy to follow with great characters and filled with wonderful Navajo themes, mythological characters and concepts. The best part was the pronunciation, it was a great choice for an audio book. Kids lapped it up. Hope there is a sequel.

Great kids story!
Kid loved it, I enjoyed listening with him. He's 5 and some parts were a bit scary, but they passed quickly. A great job with diversity in the cast too!
