This can be any mythology from any culture. Some recommendations:

Circe - Madeline Miller (Greek)
Trail of Lightning - Rebecca Roanhorse (Navajo)
The Way Back - Gavriel Savit (Jewish)
Elatsoe - Darcie Little Badger (Lipan Apache)
The Twelve - Cindy Lin (Chinese)

Rita Wright | 10 comments I loved Circe and Song of Achilles so much. I need to find a book as good as those for this.

Nikki (mnnikki) | 164 comments I'm hoping to read Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia with my daughter but if she's not interested in it as a read aloud I'll probably still go for it.

We ended up listening to the audio book together and really enjoyed it!
