Challenging rate because it is 100% a product of its time and to the modern adult viewer reads *quite* racist.
I enjoyed it for what it was, a fast moving story about Westward expansion.

So many books and graphic novels set in the middle east focus on stories of sadness. There are sad elements to be sure, but you are viewing Syria and Libya through the lens of a child in the early 1980s. There is an atmosphere of making do, of sufficing. I really enjoyed the art style of this one. I've got the other volumes on hold, I'll be sure to check them out. Very fast paced graphic novel as well.
