No refs on the page for many years. I'm not seeing refs that could be considered for WP:NBOOK JMWt (talk) 15:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Literature-related deletion discussions. JMWt (talk) 15:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Covered in The University of Chicago Guide to Children's Literature, 1979-84 p.324, Kirkus and Rapid City Journal (not sure if this is an actual review though). Sufficient for WP:NBOOK. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 16:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Mm. Well the section in the Chicago Guide is one paragraph, most of which is the plot. It's only a one sentence review. JMWt (talk) 16:29, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * NBOOK doesn't require in-depth reviews, just coverage. As long as the plot isn't just a copy-paste of the back flap or something, it's fine. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 17:33, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: There's also a review in The Reading Teacher, Vol 37 No 4 (Jan 1984), and some discussion in "A Master Storyteller and His Distortions of Pre-Columbian and Hispanic Cultures" (Journal of Reading, Vol 29 No 4, Jan 1986). Passes WP:NBOOK. Toughpigs (talk) 16:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Great, please go ahead and add these to the page. JMWt (talk) 16:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yup, done. Toughpigs (talk) 16:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as the reviews provided above show it meets notability standards. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 14:04, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
