For our middle-grade pick this week, we have chosen a title by a Native author in celebration of National Native American Heritage Month.

In her debut middle grade novel I Can Make This Promise—inspired by her family’s history—Christine Day tells the story of a girl who uncovers her family’s secrets—and finds her own Native American identity.
