The Smoking Mirror by David Bowles

5.0

Perfect for teaching young kids archetypes and the hero's journey. Thankfully we finally have POC representation when it comes to teaching myths and legends. I feel like some of the code-switching was forced and a lot of legends were squished into one novel. I would love to see each get their own story. Everyone saying "just read Percy Jackson" has obviously never suffered for lack of representation in their books, especially for kids. This is a great alternative for the worn-out Greek/Roman repeats.
