In book three of the Sydney’s Journey series, Sydney has at last come to terms with the anguish of being a bully and being bullied herself. But when her boyfriend reveals that he is looking forward to going away to college, another issue her deep separation anxiety. Sydney retreats into herself and pushes her boyfriend and others away. Luckily, her best friend points out that her response is not healthy. Sydney decides to attend a Native women’s sharing circle with her mother. Here Sydney realizes that the quiet storm troubling her heart can finally be healed.
Holy melodramatics! Sydney and Dakotah are exhausting with their childlike antics. I do like how Kim Sigafus incorporates Ojibwe culture in a natural way that makes sense for the story she is telling. Now, if we can just tone down the overdramatic characters... Great for a hi-low read, and I have recommended this series to some.
