Join Cady and John Ray as they unravel a forgotten mystery…
In Cady and the Birchbark Box, Cady Whirlwind Thunder solves the mystery behind a weathered journal found inside an old birchbark box. Why was the box buried behind a deserted garage? This is the question her friend and crush, John Ray Chicaug, asks Cady after the two of them find it. And what meaning do the notes in the book have? Cady’s grandma and her ever-present companion, a noisy blue jay, encourage her as she puts together the pieces and ultimately restores the reputation of a deceased elder. Cady does all this while navigating through another school year, earning a place on the school’s soccer team and continuing to calm her temper and adjust to life with a new stepmother and baby brother. I love Cady and the Birchbark Box. I read it with my daughter, who is very interested in Native American culture. The book is a fun adventure, sprinkled with history and culture. It is a great book for kids and adults alike. Great read! – August Brill, M.S., bilingual teacher, Chicago public schools
This well-crafted, beautiful novel immerses readers in the elegance of Native American culture as it delivers an emotional, intriguing mystery that readers from middle grade through adults will enjoy. Highly recommended! – Christine DeSmet, author of Fudge Shop Mystery Series
Ann Dallman’s writing is a teacher’s dream come true. Cady is a character students can relate to and learn from. While Cady is learning about her Native American culture and traditions, readers become immersed in a culture they may not have knowledge of. – Gina Zanon, 5th-grade teacher, Menominee, MILearn more at www.AnnDallman.com
