Fantasy. Mystery. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. 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. Some of these forces are charmingly every day, like the ability to make an orb of light appear or travel across the world through rings of fungi. But other forces are less charming and should never see the light of day.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 picture-perfect facade of Willowbee masks gruesome secrets, and she will rely on her wits, skills, and friends to tear off the mask and protect her family.Darcie Little Badger is an extraordinary debut talent in the world of speculative fiction.… (altro)

Not a perfect story (the plot reveals were pretty clunky), but I'm too in love with Darcie Little Badger's style to give any less than 5 stars. ( )

Whoops, I read it straight through without pausing. Very good; good mystery, interesting alternate universe, even good horror. I kept forgetting Ellie was 17, she acted more 14-15. On the scale of complaints, that's extremely small. ( )

This was such a good book! I love the world building and the concept. At times I would forget it wasn't written in first person because we get to see inside of Ellie's head so much. ( )

Interesting world and magic. Quite original, and the story is quite ok. Still, I'm having trouble giving this a higher rating because it is somehow a little forgettable and something that wasn't calling to me when I set it aside. I think the problem is that the characters are too generic and a bit flat. I might give it 3.5 for originality, but I don't want to round up since that is really not consistent with the feel of the book. So 3. ( )

The way supernatural elements are weaved into the story is charming, but I didn’t mesh well with the storytelling. While I’m happy to see another private investigator (a detective without the power of the police) story in YA, which I feel we’ve been lacking recently, I found the story lackluster.

The story progressed very slowly, and I didn’t feel a connection to any of the characters though cheerful Jay was mildly entertaining. However, I enjoyed how supportive and loving Ellie’s parents were and how much Ellie esteemed her great-grandmother. Still, this story is only for patient readers.

ending spoiler: so glad Alberton got his comeuppance.

Ellie bought the life-sized plastic skull at a garage sale (the goth neighbors were moving to Salem, and they could not fit an entire Halloween warehouse into their black van).

History is intrinsically malleable. Even without magic. It's carried in our minds, our records. Enchanted tongues spin convincing lies.
