The history of the Siletz is in many ways the history of all Indian tribes in America: a story of heartache, perseverance, survival, and revival. It began in a resource-rich homeland thousands of years ago and today finds a vibrant, modern community with a deeply held commitment to tradition.

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’t part of the plan. To survive, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe.

Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework, best friends, and pistachio ice cream. There are some differences. This America has been shaped dramatically by the magic, monsters, knowledge, and legends of its peoples, those Indigenous and those not. Elatsoe lives in this slightly stranger America. She can raise the ghosts of dead animals, a skill passed down through generations of her Lipan Apache family. Her beloved cousin has just been murdered in a town that wants no prying eyes. But she is going to do more than pry.

The Twyford Code by Janice Hallet
Forty years ago, Steven Smith found a copy of a famous children's book, its margins full of strange markings and annotations. He took it to his remedial English teacher, Miss Isles, who became convinced it was the key to solving a puzzle. That a message in secret code ran through all Edith Twyford's novels. Then Miss Isles disappeared on a class field trip, and Steven's memory won't allow him to remember what happened. Now, out of prison after a long stretch, Steven decides to investigate the mystery that has haunted him for decades.

The Twyford Code by Janice Hallet
Hace cuarenta años, Steven Smith encontró un ejemplar de un famoso libro infantil, con los márgenes llenos de extrañas marcas y anotaciones. Se lo llevó a su profesora de inglés, la señorita Isles, que se convenció de que era la clave para resolver un enigma. Que un mensaje en clave secreta recorría todas las novelas de Edith Twyford. Entonces la señorita Isles desapareció en una excursión de la clase, y la memoria de Steven no le permite recordar lo sucedido. Ahora, fuera de la cárcel tras una larga condena, Steven decide investigar el misterio que le ha perseguido durante décadas.
