A Junior Library Guild selection

"This is a fun and exciting story, written with the utmost respect for the Osage culture." -Wah-Zha-Zhi Cultural Center

"The Old West lingo-laden dialogue is pitch-perfect-not to mention contagious. It’s rare to see a Western in middle grade fiction-especially one that, like this one, eliminates some of the genre’s more harmful stereotypes of Native populations . . . [this] will surely gain more than a few young fans." -School Library Journal

"Vividly drawn characters, evocative writing, thrilling suspense." -The Buffalo News

"An adventure with a Louis L’Amour-esque flair refreshed for today’s readers by the thoughtful incorporation of American frontier history and Osage culture." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Incorporates aspects of Osage culture and legend into this action-packed series starter. Part western, part zombie flick, this pits scrappy, resourceful kids against some menacing villains-always a recipe for success." -Booklist
