Code Talker, with starred reviews from Booklist and Kirkus Reviews, is a Booklist Top-10 Historical Fiction for Youth.
Although the mission school bans all that is Navajo, Ned secretly clings to his native language and culture. Proudly joining the U.S. Marines in 1943, he becomes a top-secret Navajo Code Talker. During bloody battles for Japanese islands, Ned and his brave band of code-talking brothers save thousands of lives using Navajo encryption the enemy never cracks.

This book doesn’t go into a lot of gory details of war, and indeed doesn’t even go into explicit details of the school experience. This makes it an appropriate book for older kids, teens, and the squeamish. There is a memoir by Chester Nez that hits a lot harder. I give this book four stars for story, readability, and character development. I would add an extra quarter star for the enormous amount of research that went into it. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Derrick Henry. It seems to be his only audiobook.

Would you consider the audio edition of Code Talker to be better than the print version?
I think it's easier to get the emotional feel of the story when hearing someone tell about the war and not just reading it on the page.What does Derrick Henry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
It was an excellent experience for my students to hear an authentic voice reading this story and actually hearing the Navajo language spoken.Excellent version
