[aisle] Native American YA book title suggestions?

[Christine Wilson]

I know Sherman Alexie is out of favor, but if you look at the art and not
the artist, The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian
<https://www.titlewave.com/search?active_filter=&active_tab=allTitles&card1.x=1&duplicates_view=&page=1&search_within_type=&within_search=1>
 is good.

Debbie Reese's lists are a good starting point.
