The image discusses children’s literature and features Cynthia Leitich Smith’s young adult novel that’s a haunting mystery about a spooky attraction featuring a ghost character based on local legend. Against a dark blue background with a spooky house, moon, trees, clouds, and flying black birds, the title reads: “Indigenous YA Horror.” To the right is a large image of the cover of kidlit author Cynthia Leitich Smith’s YA novel HARVEST HOUSE. To the left of the book are 2 reviews. Each review has a light blue star and is labeled with “Starred review.” The top review from Publishers Weekly says: “a spine-tingling, edge-of-the-seat chiller.” The bottom review from School Library Connection says: “part coming-of-age tale, part social justice story, and part paranormal thriller.” To the bottom left of the book is a sparkly blue paint swatch with a quote from Cynthia that reads: "For Indigenous young readers, I want to remind them that they are heroes of their own life stories and that they have the power, especially in community, to raise their voices and create positive change. ~Cynthia Leitich Smith."
