SPIRIT PASS is a gripping and emotionally charged novella that sheds light on a harrowing and often overlooked crisis-the disappearances of young Indigenous women on Native American reservations.When the body of Claudia Shepherd is discovered near the affluent edges of Spirit Pass Reservation, old friends Jessica Medicine Stone, a Tribal Sergeant, and FBI Agent Casey Borgreve are forced to navigate a tense partnership to uncover the truth. As suspicion spreads and longtime allies like Agnes and Bernice find themselves at odds, the investigation spirals into a maze of secrets, rivalries, and buried trauma.With an ever-growing list of suspects and a community torn between self-reliance and the need for federal help, Jessica must grapple with her deep mistrust of outside authorities-even as time runs out to stop a predator hiding in plain sight.Set on a reservation just beyond the sprawl of a big city-where casinos bring wealth to some and shadows to others-SPIRIT PASS explores the stark contrasts, the cultural tensions, and the resilience of those fighting for justice. Taut, poignant, and fiercely authentic, this is a story where every voice matters, and silence can be deadly.-Keith Mbuya for Reader's Favorite

Jessica Cruz has done everything right. She s a dedicated student, popular among her classmates, and has a loving family that has done everything they can to give her a better life in the United States. While Jessica is a part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, allowing her to go to school and live in the U.S., her parents are undocumented. Jessica usually worries for her parents, but her fears and anxiety escalate as a mayoral candidate with a strong anti-immigration stance runs for office. As the xenophobia in Coast City increases, Jessica begins to debate whether it s worth renewing her status to stay in the U.S., or if her family would be safer and better off moving back to Mexico. And despite her attempts to lean on her friends and family, she finds herself constantly visited by visions of Aztec gods, one pulling her towards hope and the other towards anger. But when her father is detained by I.C.E., Jessica finds herself being pulled into an abyss of fear. With her father gone and feeling helpless, Jessica must find her way out of her fears and ultimately become a voice for her community.

Jessica & Grandma have collaborated well during lockdown to produce this superb skipping book. There are 80 plus traditional rhymes to involve children and adults of all ages in exercise and physical activities at home, in the playground or for PE at school. It encourages pupils to learn the rhymes whilst performing physical activity either individually or in pairs/groups. The rhymes have great cross curricular links to history, English, geography and various cultural influences from not only the U.K but other countries around the world. The rhymes and exercises could be used either as a warm up/cool down or as part of a main lesson, too, in both primary and secondary schools. The You Tube channel with demonstrations is a fabulous added extra to support the teaching of the skipping steps and songs - a great idea. I will certainly be using it to teach my class of future Olympic winning skippers A great warm-up prior to football and rugby for all ages. A brilliant resource for teachers, coaches and parents OFSTED WILL LOVE SEEING IT IN ACTION
