Ellie has experienced racism, but she does not describe previous experiences in detail. Subjects like violence and danger are appropriate to a middle grade novel. Death and grief are discussed at length.jjjreads's review against another edition

📚 The gist 📚: Elatsoe lives in a version of our world where supernatural beings and magic powers are somewhat commonplace. What's not common, though, is her ability to communicate with and summon ghosts. When her cousin is killed in a vehicle accident, his spirit comes to her to tell her that he was murdered. It's up to Elatsoe to figure out what to do next.Â
📒Representation📒: asexual mc, Native American mc (Lipan Apache), Native American culture and legends
💕 For readers looking for 💕: a playful magical realist version of America, a mixing of legends (especially Lipan Apache), vampires, a dangerous mystery, and ghostsÂ
