Book Description
We've all dreamed of chasing rainbows... but what if the rainbow has very specific (and possibly deadly) ideas about who it wants chasing its tail? Running away from home was easier for Ben than he had imagined, but only he knows what he's running from. With his father and the police in hot pursuit, there is no escape until he meets Joel, a teenage boy from the ghetto at Alligator Creek. Joel, focused on a misty, ever-changing, horizon, must get to Death Canyon at all cost even if it means ditching Ben along the way. The police are closing in, Rocky River has broken its banks and Fir Tree Dam is at breaking point. Will either of them be able to find the haven they seek? Especially when there are so many cards stacked against them...

Pages : 274
Book Description
The inspiration for the Netflix film Rez Ball—produced by Lebron James The moving story of a Navajo high school basketball team, its members struggling with the everyday challenges of high school, adolescence, and family, and the great and unique obstacles facing Native Americans living on reservations. Deep in the heart of northern Arizona, in a small and isolated patch of the vast 17.5-million-acre Navajo reservation, sits Chinle High School. Here, basketball is passion, passed from grandparent to parent to child. Rez Ball is a sport for winters where dark and cold descend fast and there is little else to do but roam mesa tops, work, and wonder what the future holds. The town has 4,500 residents and the high school arena seats 7,000. Fans drive thirty, fifty, even eighty miles to see the fast-paced and highly competitive matchups that are more than just games to players and fans. Celebrated Times journalist Michael Powell brings us a narrative of triumph and hardship, a moving story about a basketball team on a Navajo reservation that shows how important sports can be to youths in struggling communities, and the transcendent magic and painful realities that confront Native Americans living on reservations. This book details his season-long immersion in the team, town, and culture, in which there were exhilarating wins, crushing losses, and conversations on long bus rides across the desert about dreams of leaving home and the fear of the same.
