Not my favorite Dear America book, but not the worst. I did like how the author did try to keep things authentic with absence of written language for that tribe in that time period by having her granddaughter actually be the author of the diary.

I'm a little frustrated with the Dear America books that focus on Native Americans. They are penned by white people, and the stories sound fake and insincere. I feel as if I am not reading a story written by a child/young adult...a feeling that is conjured within the other books in the Dear America series. However, I believe that the author Ann Turner was sensitive to the material in this book, and did a commendable job.

This was fun to read except it was written by a white person and had a white savior narrative. Lame!!
