Perfect for you if...

You're looking for authentic voices from multiple Indigenous writers exploring what home and community mean to young Native people.
You want short stories that feel real: funny, heartfelt, and grounded in actual tribal cultures rather than stereotypes.
You appreciate award-winning YA that celebrates Native pride and representation without preaching.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer single-author novels with one continuous plot thread over interconnected short stories.
You're not interested in books that centre Indigenous experiences and cultures as their primary focus.
You want fast-paced action or high-stakes drama rather than character-driven, intimate moments.

About this book

This collection of interconnected stories, edited by Muscogee author Cynthia Leitich Smith, features voices from both new and established Indigenous writers. The stories center on Sandy June's Legendary Frybread Drive-In, a gathering place that appears across reservations and in urban Native communities. Beyond serving food, the drive-in hosts live music, movie nights, family reunions, and moments of lost and rekindled love. The neon sign draws teenagers from various tribal nations, often at pivotal moments in their lives. The collection includes stories and poems by Kaua Mahoe Adams, Marcella Bell, Angeline Boulley, K. A. Cobell, A. J. Eversole, Jen Ferguson, Eric Gansworth, Byron Graves, Kate Hart, Christine Hartman Derr, Karina Iceberg, Cheryl Isaacs, Darcie Little Badger, David A. Robertson, Andrea L. Rogers, Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Brian Young. The book is a Michael L. Printz Award Winner and American Indian Youth Literature Award Winner, and received an Odyssey Honor designation. Published in partnership with We Need Diverse Books.
