They braved some of the heaviest fighting of the war, and with their code, they saved countless American lives. Yet their story remained classified for more than twenty years.\u003cbr\u003e\nBut now Joseph Bruchac brings their stories to life for young adults through the riveting fictional tale of Ned Begay, a sixteen-year-old Navajo boy who becomes a code talker. His grueling journey is eye-opening and inspiring. This deeply affecting novel honors all of those young men, like Ned, who dared to serve, and it honors the culture and language of the Navajo Indians.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAn ALA Best Book for Young Adults\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Nonsensational and accurate, Bruchac's tale is quietly inspiring...\"—School Library Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142405963\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.2 x 5.5 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50120526070064,"sku":"Trans_9780142405963","price":675.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/61cAu8XLQSL.jpg?v=1757320334","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/code-talker-a-novel-about-the-navajo-marines-of-world-war-two","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
