Join us as we speak with Gitz Crazyboy Makoyisapo about his book “The Secret of the Stars”, which was published in 2017.

In 'Secret of the Stars', Gitz Crazyboy takes us on a journey through Indigenous magic realism. The strange story of one boy's journey to find four fallen stars, to distant lands, the eccentric realm of dreams, interacting with people, places, Indigenous ancestors and then coming back again.

'Secret of the Stars' brings us back to an ancient and often forgotten place where dreams, ancestors and destiny intersect.

Book Overview:

A young man's journey to find four fallen stars. After watching the stars falling to earth, he is whisked into the land of dreams where he is told that the discovery of each star will also reveal one of life's many secrets. A voyage that takes him across distant lands, into the realm of dreams, and back again. Ultimately the young man begins to understand the deeper purpose of why he was put on this path and what finding all the stars truly means. A story about the wondrous places your dreams can take you.
