The Chief: Mistahimaskwa by David A. Robertson
4.0
I really enjoyed this!
It's definitely written for middle grade kids in mind, so if reading YA is not your thing, I would give this a miss. I would definitely check it out if you are a teacher or are interested in teaching. As a preservice teacher I am always looking for ways to teach new content and I am certainly on the lookout for diverse material that presents multiple perspectives.
I was pleased with this, I thought the formatting would be interesting for a middle grade student who needed to learn about this particular time period in history. The graphic novel contained quite a few details, maps, dates and names of places that you could look up and research later if you wanted to.
I loved the main protagonist although I was a bit sad that the girl introduced in the first part of the story didn't have a stronger role or didn't react more to the story? I think she was a really good platform for the reader because this young girl is a modern character, so it's a little bit disappointing that she didn't have more interaction with the text?
Nicely done, I'll keep this in mind for my classroom. C:
Thanks Netgalley, for allowing me to read it in exchange for an honest review.
