Another insanely cute book. I love that in the acknowledgements it is mentioned that they deliberately take care not to promote negative or harmful stereotypes of different groups of people.

Orry gives this book 5 stars. He liked that they got a new Unicorn Rescue Society member. He loled several times! I liked how intentional the authors were around Native representation in general and Muckleshoot tribe in particular. A good series for kids who like speculative fiction light.

The Muckleshoot reservation is the closest reservation to home for me, so it was great to see that Gidwitz worked with not only Native storyteller Bruchac, but with members of the tribal nation as well, and acknowledged the support and work of the tribal cultural director, a Muckleshoot language expert, and the creator of a font (SL Lushootseed Style True Type) that can accurately write the language. For teachers in the area, this would be a fun read.

Got to teach my kid about the forced relocation and indoctrination of indigenous children as part of a campaign of cultural genocide (it made him cry).

What a great continuation of this series! There were puns galore, an awesome feature creature, a new culture—with input from members of the Muckleshoit tribe. These books are so solidly enjoyable.
