Ned Begay, a Navajo code talker who joined the U.S. Marines in World War II as a 16-year-old, tells his life story to his grandchildren in this touching, well-researched young adult novel. In measured prose, Ned describes using his native language to relay secret messages in the heat of battle, island-hopping in the South Pacific, and drawing on Navajo traditions to battle his fear and loneliness.
