Great, quick read about a boy learning to dance and get more in touch with his Cree heritage while going through typical teens struggles of bullying, managing sports, and friends while making time to go to dance classes at the Native Community Center. John was a great character and I loved how he could talk to his parents about things. There was a great family dynamic. It also touches on the privilege John has as he looks more Irish than Cree. Although, it's a struggle he faces when the boys at his dance class assume he is a white kid trying to culturally appropriate.
