A review by bookjockeybeth
When I Was Eight by Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, Christy Jordan-Fenton

2.0

Wanted to like this book more than I did - it's rare to see a book discussing Native American Boarding Schools, which is why I was initially drawn to it. I did enjoy the illustrations more than the text. I found the text to be stilted in places and didactic in others. Some cliches were glaringly obvious to me as well, but as it is a rare book topic, I would still allow the title into my collection.
