What I Read in April

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone else is reading.

Jimmy Bluefeather by Kim Heacox

I am reading this as part of a backlist challenge. I loved this book. It is very Pacific Northwest.  It is about a grandson who hurts his leg and his dream of being in the NBA and Grandfather, Keb, who is afraid that his culture is being lost. Keb is part Norwegian and part Tlingit native. It is set in the village of Jinkaat in Southeast Alaska. They build a canoe and sail it to Crystal Bay which is now a protected bay. There is a good bit of family drama and maybe just a few too many characters but a good story.
