The book we’ll be reading for August is Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac.
“Ned Begay, a young Navajo man, is thrust into WWII as a Marine and a code talker, using his Navajo language to transmit secret messages. Ned and his fellow Navajo code talkers prove invaluable, their unique language preventing the Japanese from deciphering crucial Allied communications. The story emphasizes the significance of the Navaho language and culture, showcasing how it was both suppressed and unexpectedly embraced as a powerful fool during the war.”
Stop by the library to grab a copy or use our online app Libby or Hoopla to follow along on your preferred device with us for the month!
We will meet again on August 26th to discuss the book and draw our Teen Summer Reading Club to an end.
