Firstly I would like to thank NetGalley and the Heartdrum Harper Collins Publishing for the advanced copy of this book. Truly a pleasure to read!

This book is a YA anthology that  will reach out and engage many ages.  Each story is connected via one consistent location , Sandy June’s Legendary Frybread Drive In,  and small interwoven details from other stories. The Legendary Frybread Drive In represents a unique utopia of sorts as it serves to create solutions for each character and their varied troubles. The mystical drive in is run by a group of tribal elders with plenty of wisdom and traditions to share .  Isn’t that what we all desire most days? Connections to our heritage , wisdom from our ancestors, a shared safe space and the peace that comes with knowing your problems aren’t always as big as they feel.

This anthology was put together wonderfully. I was engaged throughout each story and often times didn’t want them to end. The various authors brought a pleasant variety of writing styles and issues forward while maintaining a strong cohesiveness to the other story lines. The pacing in each story individually and as a whole was perfect in my opinion. While I have read a couple of these authors before , I was thankful for the introduction to many new voices as well. I look forward to buying physical copies to share with some local libraries , schools & some friends/family . From middle grades to old age this is a feel good book everyone should enjoy.
