There's a new virus making people sick, and Malian will have to stay with her grandparents for the duration.\n\nEveryone is worried about the pandemic, but Malian knows how to keep her family safe: She protects her grandparents, and they protect her. She doesn't go out to play with friends, she helps her grandparents use video chat, and she listens to and learns from their stories. And when Malsum, one of the dogs living on the rez, shows up at their door, Malian's family knows that he'll protect them too.\n\nTold in verse inspired by oral storytelling, this novel about the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the ways in which Indigenous nations and communities cared for one another through plagues of the past, and how they keep caring for one another today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e**Four starred reviews!**\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eBoston Globe-Horn Book Fiction \u0026amp; Poetry Honor\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eNPR Books We Love\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003eBest Books\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal \u003c\/i\u003eBest Books\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eChicago Public Library Best Fiction for Younger Readers\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eJane Addams Children's Book Award Finalist\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eNerdy Book Club Award--Best Poetry and Novels in Verse\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joseph Bruchac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dial Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/7\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.6\" H x 5.1\" L x 0.6\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780593326220\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46696127332506,"sku":"9780593326220","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9780593326220_78505ee5-f43f-485a-8917-78a8f6eefe1e.jpg?v=1774756555","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/rez-dogs-joseph-bruchac-paperback","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
