INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Little, Kimberley Griffiths

Enchanted Runner

(4) 4-6 After his mother's death, twelve-year-old Kendall makes his first visit to the pueblo where she grew up and finally learns from his great-grandfather, an Acoma Indian, about the inherited "magic" that compels him to run. Although the prose is sometimes stilted, the story provides a respectful look at a Native culture and at a boy trying to discover where he belongs.
