In this entertaining mystery novel aimed at middle schoolers ages 10 to 13, Coyote and Turtle, animal characters drawn from American Indian and Alaska Native storytelling traditions, lead the children on a mystery/adventure in which they foil the plans of a fossil poacher on their reservation, all while passing on messages about healthy eating and physical activity. This beautifully illustrated book is a continuation of the best-selling Native American-themed Eagle book series, intended to teach children the benefits of healthy eating and physical fitness while preventing Type 2 diabetes. 2013: 252 p.; illustrated.
The novel, Coyote and the Turtle’s Dream, is the first in a series of three books for middle schoolers ages 10-13 which feature the Eagle book series characters and are about healthy eating and preventing diabetes.
