Native American Folklore Meets Modern Lore Author Cynthia Leitich Smith Shares On A Wing And Tear

  • Sumário

  • Widely recognized for her fiction for young readers. Cynthia Leitich Smith is a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and an acclaimed NYTimes bestselling children's-YA author. ON A WING AND TEAR tells a modern folklore story about friendship, embracing the unexpected, and all the overlapping circles that connect us throughout Creation. A living legend roosting in the backyard. An unmissable game. A hair-raising mystery. A road trip full of adventure and danger. And all the overlapping circles that connect us throughout Creation. Melanie “Mel” Roberts and Ray Halfmoon may be from different Indigenous Nations, but the friends have become like siblings since the Roberts’s moved in with the Halfmoons. And they soon welcome a distinguished guest: Great-grandfather Bat, whose wing is injured, has taken refuge in their old oak tree. A rematch of the legendary Great Ball Game is coming up, with Bat as the star player. Grampa Charlie Halfmoon offers to drive Bat from Chicago down to the traditional playing field outside Macon, Georgia, and Mel and Ray are determined to help out. Together, they all set off on a road trip—facing adventure, danger, and a hair-raising mystery—on the way to the historic game.
