In a classroom, this is a good book for a student to read a chapter of his/her choice and then share with the group. There is a pronunciation guide for those of you who are not a 'child of the Southwest.'
One clever author wrote of 7th graders ;publishing a book as a fundraiser with alternate chapters being from their book. This is a new individual learning program, the 'Heritage Project' at the school now configured as a magnet school, with students learning across several subjects.
