Sinossi

In "Yellow Thunder, Our Little Indian Cousin," Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade presents an evocative narrative that immerses readers in the rich cultural tapestry of Native American life through the eyes of its young protagonist, Yellow Thunder. The book employs a vivid descriptive style that balances realism with a touch of romanticism, capturing the intricacies of nature, tribal customs, and family dynamics. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, Wade's storytelling reflects the literary tradition of the late 19th century, where children's literature often sought to educate while entertaining, fostering cross-cultural understanding among young readers. Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade, a noted American author and educator, drew upon her extensive experience in youth literature and cultural anthropology to craft this work. Born in the late 1800s, her interest in Native American cultures was likely influenced by the era's growing fascination with anthropological studies and the romantic ideals of the 'noble savage.' Wade aimed to provide young readers with insight into a world often marginalized in mainstream literature, thus bridging gaps between cultures through imaginative storytelling. This book is a valuable read for those interested in children's literature, cultural representation, and American history. Wade'Äôs careful portrayal of her characters and settings invites readers'Äîespecially young ones'Äîto appreciate the diversity of the American experience while fostering empathy and respect for indigenous cultures. "Yellow Thunder, Our Little Indian Cousin" is not merely a tale but a cultural portal that deserves a place in every young reader's library.

    Giselle Boyer and her identical twin, Isabelle, are as close as sisters can be, even as their family seems to be unraveling. Then the Boyers have a tragic encounter that will shatter everyone’s world forever. 
     
    Giselle wakes up in the hospital, injured and unable to speak or move. Trapped in the prison of her own body, Giselle must revisit her past in order to understand how the people closest to her—her friends, her parents, and above all, Isabelle, her twin—have shaped and defined her. Will she allow her love for her family and friends to lead her to recovery? Or will she remain lost in a spiral of longing and regret? 
     
    Untwine is a spellbinding tale, lyrical and filled with love, mystery, humor, and heartbreak. Award-winning author Edwidge Danticat brings her extraordinary talent to this graceful and unflinching examination of the bonds of friendship, romance, family, the horrors of loss, and the strength we must discover in ourselves when all seems hopeless. 
     
    “While Danticat fully grounds Giselle in her identity as a Haitian-American teen in Miami, this gentle young artist could speak to any teen anywhere coping with a major loss.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
