Book Talk with Brian Lee Young
Join OFPL LIVE on Facebook @galluplibrary or Zoom for a book talk with Brian Lee Young on Wednesday, November 10th at 2:00 PM, author of Healer of the Water Monster.
When Nathan goes to visit his grandma, Nali, at her mobile summer home on the Navajo reservation, he knows he’s in for a pretty uneventful summer. Still, he loves spending time with Nali, and with his uncle Jet—though it’s clear when Jet arrives that he brings his problems with him.
