Praise for Two Roads
"Cal's cleareyed first-person narration drives the novel.
Meticulously honest, generous, autonomous and true, he sees things
for what they are rather than what he'd like them to be. The result
is one of Bruchac's best books." —New York Times Book Review
* "A tautly paced and compelling story of self-discovery, family,
belonging, and friendship." —Horn Book, starred review
"Multiple compelling Depression-era histories converge in Bruchac's
latest . . . The students' utter subversion of Challagi's mission
to sever their ties with Indian culture soon becomes apparent, as
does Cal's powerful, growing understanding of his identity."
—Booklist
