Will he find the answers in time to save his community?

[T]he indigenous Canadian viewpoint gives insights into First Nations life and a truly original superhero for the beginning of this new series.
Recommended.
--Tara J. Williams "School Library Connection"The tone deftly oscillates between moodiness and humor, capturing the angst of the tale's teens without becoming self-serious. Though this is very much an archetypal story, the blend of Native American fantasy elements and a noirish Canadian setting make this a memorable addition to the genre.
A promising first episode of a new series with a striking hero and a coyote spirit.
-- "Kirkus Reviews"Indigenous and non-indigenous readers will enjoy the setting of Wounded Sky, the character of Cole and the other Indigenous characters in the book. There are murders and mysteries which are never completely solved, a hint of romance which is never entirely fulfilled, and the supernatural plays a large role in the plot. Something for everyone - and many readers will anticipate the next book in the series.--Ann Ketcheson "CM Association"
Though the singularity of superpowers adds flair and excitement for readers, Robertson's spirited trilogy is ultimately rooted in a sense of community nurtured by compassion, hard work and a little bit of mischief.
