Hunting Spirit Animals

Xenia O'Donnell is a Caucasian art teacher working inside a Pacific Northwest tribal school. Dubbed Crazy White Bird by her students, she has dreamwalked through the school year, barely able to function after the suspicious death of her fiancé. Enter Pink Flamingo, a goth-inspired Pow Wow dancer, complete with black Regalia adorned with glow-in-the-dark skulls.

Xenia admires the teen's creativity, though she knows defiance of tradition results in consequences. And when her Navajo or Dine' best friend suspects her of murder, Ms. O reluctantly employs the help of Junior Class President Treaty Raven, who is also considered a suspect. Together, these two unlikely sleuths ferret out a murderer in a community where there are too many dead, too soon.
