![]() Edie never imagined that when she went into the attic with her friends looking for popsicle molds, she would uncover a mystery that would change her life. Edie's mother is Native American, but she was adopted by a white couple and claims to know little of her native roots. Which is why Edie is shocked when she uncovers letters and photographs of a native woman from the past who looks like her and shares her name. Who is this woman? Did her mother name her after this other Edith? Why have her parents kept this all hidden? As she investigates the mystery with her friends, Edie will learn who she can really trust and the secret history of her family. This is a sweet, gentle story about a girl uncovering her family past and navigating friendships. I loved learning about Coast Salish Indians along with Edie. The premise is unique, but the basic themes of finding out who your true friends are, standing up for yourself, and learning how to have hard conversations with your family are all universal. A great story for young readers. I Can Make This Promise by Christine Day Erica's Picks 3rd - 6th grade tags:
