A powerful coming-of-age novel set in the Pacific Northwest during the 1960s, River's Reach explores friendship, justice, and the fight for Indigenous fishing rights.
Alex Haugen, a high school senior, dreams of a future beyond his small Washington town. But when he befriends Charlie McCallister, a young member of the Nisqually tribe, Alex is pulled into the heart of the Fish Wars-an intense battle for Indigenous fishing rights. As tensions rise, Alex must decide where he stands in a conflict that challenges everything he thought he knew about justice, loyalty, and identity.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, social justice novels, and powerful coming-of-age stories, River's Reach is a must-read for those who love books with strong themes of activism, friendship, and cultural heritage.
Dive into this unforgettable journey of courage and change!
This novel is suitable for MG/YA and the young at heart. It contains no gratuitous language, but there are a few swear words, in keeping with the characters and story.
