Rick Riordan Presents: Race to the Sun

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Indigenous fantasy writer Rebecca Roanhorses thrilling adventure about a Navajo girl who discovers shes a monsterslayer.
Lately, seventh grader Nizhoni Begay has been able to detect monsters, like that man in the fancy suit who was in the bleachers at her basketball game. Turns out hes Mr. Charles, her dads new boss at the oil and gas company, and hes alarmingly interested in Nizhoni and her brother, Mac, their Navajo heritage, and the legend of the Hero Twins. Nizhoni knows hes a threat, but her father wont believe her.
When Dad disappears the next day, leaving behind a message that says Run!, the siblings and Nizhonis best friend, Davery, are thrust into a rescue mission that can only be accomplished with the help of Din Holy People, all disguised as quirky characters. Their aid will come at a price: the kids must pass a series of trials in which it seems like nature itself is out to kill them. If Nizhoni, Mac, and Davery can reach the House of the Sun, they will be outfitted with what they need to defeat the ancient monsters Mr. Charles has unleashed. But it will take more than weapons for Nizhoni to become the hero she was destined to be . . .
Timeless themes such as the importance of family and respect for the land resonate in this funny, fast-paced, and exciting quest adventure set in the American Southwest.
