(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Shonto Begay. Biracial thirteen-year-old Tess feels like an outsider on her Navajo reservation and at her white school. She also struggles to reconcile her anger at and fear for her older sister, who has enlisted in the army and left her intimidating horse, Blue, in Tess's care. A thoughtful, if slow, coming-of-age story and horse-bonding tale with a heartbreaking ending for animal lovers.
