Code Talker: A Novel about the Navajo Marines of World War Two
Author
Joseph Bruchac
ISBN
9780803729216
Throughout World War II, in the conflict fought against Japan, Navajo code talkers were a crucial part of the U.S. effort, sending messages back and forth in an unbreakable code that used their native language. They braved some of the heaviest fighting of the war, and with their code, they saved countless American lives. Yet their story remained classified for more than twenty years. But now Joseph Bruchac brings their stories to life for young adults through the riveting fictional tale of Ned Begay, a sixteen-year-old Navajo boy who becomes a code talker. His grueling journey is eye-opening and inspiring. This deeply affecting novel honors all of those young men, like Ned, who dared to serve, and it honors the culture and language of the Navajo Indians.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Joseph BruchacPublisher: Dial BooksPublished: 03/17/2005ISBN: 9780803729216Pages: 240Weight: 0.75lbsSize: 8.77h x 5.62w x 1.01dAward: Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Book Award - NomineeAward: Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - NomineeAward: Virginia Readers Choice Award - NomineeAward: Golden Sower Award - NomineeAward: Iowa Teen Award - NomineeAward: Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers - NomineeAward: Black-Eyed Susan Award - NomineeAward: Grand Canyon Reader Award - NomineeAward: West Virginia Children's Book Award - NomineeAward: Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award - NomineeReview Citations: Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2005 pg. 311 - Marginal, Seriously FlawedKirkus Review - Children 01/15/2005 pg. 117Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 02/01/2005 pg. 246Booklist 02/15/2005 pg. 1078Voice of Youth Advocates 04/01/2005 pg. 36School Library Journal 05/01/2005 pg. 124Booklist 05/15/2005 pg. 1675ALA Best Books Young Adults 03/01/2006 pg. 7ALA Notable Children's Books 03/01/2006 pg. 26Accelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 85819 / Code Talker: A Novel about the Navajo Marines of World War TwoReading Level: 6.4 / Interest Level: Middle Grade / Point Value: 9
