I started on the 2nd one so I was super confused. Really good book .

[Chrissy · Rating 5 out of 5]

2nd in a series of Hi/Lo books about a Choctaw teen by celebrated Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle. After dealing with an abusive drunken father in the first book, our main character (along with his dad, his coach, and friends) tries to help a teammate with his own alcoholic father. Quick read with lot of basketball action, racism, bullying, some romance, and the power of friendship.

This tale of earning honor, and a claiming of identity is an important story for not only Choctaw people, but also speaks to a diverse intertribal young adult audience yearning to make their mark and names in the world.
Yakoke!
Chahta sia hoke!

and came back to his sense so he can let his team basketball team win again and make his mum came back home again so
they can reunite as one famille again.
