About Teresa's Latest Book,
"Cree Boy"
In the literary tradition of The Outsiders comes a coming-of-age novel about teen boys and Indigenous gangs.
“…the resentment and redemption narrative is strong and the action consistent. Recommended.” — School Library Journal
Sixteen-year-old Josh is no stranger to gang life. His dad, the leader of the Warriors, a gang on their reserve, is in jail, and Josh’s older brother has taken charge.
Josh’s mom has made it clear the Warriors and their violence aren’t welcome in her home — Josh’s dad and brother included. She wants Josh to focus on graduating high school. Josh is unsure whether gang life is for him — that is until gang violence arrives on his doorstep.
Turning to the Warriors, Josh, now known as “Creeboy,” starts down the path to becoming a full gang member — cutting himself off from his friends, family, and community outside the gang.
It’s harder than ever for Creeboy to envision a different future for himself. Will anything change his mind?

Success Journaling

A few years back, I was in a slump.
A while back, I was contracted to teach at a ‘one-room’ school. I was thrilled to take the job. I even moved so that I could be closer to the job. Problem was, I thought that I would have my happiest teaching moment teaching that multi-grade class.
