Roanhorse has written quite successfully for older teens with her Sixth World series, but R ace to the Sun, with its seventh-grade protagonist, is clearly for younger readers (the 9-14 age group will love it). (Also the cover is outstanding – probably one of the best I’ve seen in ages.) Sporting a southwestern setting and Navajo protagonist while executing a traditional hero/heroine’s journey with aplomb, R ace to the Sun hits all the right notes while giving readers an excellent look at some Navajo culture and legends along the way. Rick Riordan’s already impressive Disney Hyperion imprint has another winner with Rebecca Roanhorse’s adventure, R ace to the Sun.
