I had to finish this on my own; my daughter lost interest. It‘s a shame because the message here is important. Still, I can‘t blame her — it‘s rather slow for a middle grade novel.
Day puts too much emphasis on making the main storyline a mystery, padding it with cliché subplots. I feel a young reader will wonder why they should care. The book shines when it‘s grappling with Native history, and I wish Day had kept her focus on that.
