3.0

The nostalgic story from my childhood is still there, but is updated in a clever way, by an author I enjoy reading, to be queer, Indigenous, and set in 1901 Canada. The characters to me read as younger than they were supposed to be, or perhaps this is the targeted to the younger side of YA. Regardless, I’m probably not the target audience, yet enjoyed the story update nonetheless, though the third star is purely for the nostalgia.
