I am so very behind on my reviews for June & now July 😩 but I finished this one last night for #SundayBuddyRead & as expected, I loved it. Stacey Lee is probably my favorite author of historical YA & this is the 4th book we‘ve read with her. She creates characters that I love & root for & teaches me about history from underrepresented perspectives, all while telling an exciting & engrossing story. Do things usually work out at least ⬇️
pickAgain Lee delivers. Did it end exactly as I expected? Yes. Did it follow her same formula? Yes. Did I have fun during the ride? Also yes. We follow Sammy, a Chinese girl on the run from the law with a runaway slave on the Oregon Trail. Wild adventures and lessons learned and a great title. #sundaybuddyread
pickI enjoyed this book. This was a coming of age story set during the Oregon Trail time. I highly enjoyed Sam's and Andy's relationship. They were two strangers, one trying to run away while the other searched for her brother, who quickly became close like sisters. Tjere were fun parts and nail bitting moments. I especially enjoyed the group of boys they joined during their journey to the West.
