Navajo Code Talkers by Blake Hoena
During World War I U.S. forces had to keep battle plans and other top secret information out of the enemy's hands. Coded messages were often used, but secret codes could be broken. To solve this problem, the U.S. military turned to an unexpected source to create an unbreakable code. The Navajo people spoke a complex language that few outsiders knew how to speak. Several Navajo soldiers were recruited to develop a code based on the Navajo language. The result was a complex code that could not be solved by the enemy. Learn all about the brave Navajo Code Talkers and how their unbreakable code helped defeat the enemy and win the war.
Blake Hoena grew up writing stories about robots conquering the moon and trolls lumbering around in the woods behind his parents' house--the fact that the trolls were hunting for little boys had nothing to do with Blake's pesky brothers. He pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from Minnesota State University, Mankato, and since graduating, Blake has written more than sixty books for children. Blake has published ABC picture books, graphic novels about space aliens, and retellings of classic stories such as Greek Mythology's Adventure of Perseus, a choose your path book.
