Racing The Sun By Paul Pitts

Price: $2.99

    For 12-year-old Brandon, being different was painful...until he learned that being Indian was being proud.

    Being an American Indian wasn't something twelve-year-old Brandon Rogers liked to advertise.  His father had left his Indian heritage behind when he went to college and Brandon had grown up in suburbia-- just a regular kid.  Who needed embarrassing mumbo-jumbo to make you look different?  But Brandon's Navajo grandfather moved off the reservation and into the lower bunk in Brandon's room!

    It wasn't easy having a roommate who chanted himself to sleep and got out of bed before sunrise to race the sun.  But now Brandon's learning lessons he'll never forget.  Like how to take old ways without giving up the new.  And how to grow up proud and strong...with a heritage as real as an old man's love.
