YA
Though she's a gifted weaver, teenage Crystal does not embrace the traditional Navajo ways and looks forward to leaving the reservation for college. When her latest rug is stolen off the loom, Crystal and her friend Junior, who is studying to become a healer, work together to find it. Appealing characters and an undemanding prose style make this story of contemporary Navajo teenagers an engaging, fast-paced novel.
