Reviews

[Young Adult Historical Vault · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book rambles and rambles and doesn't go anywhere, and along the way it's annoying and confusing. The extremely minor interesting point is a commentary on race relations, but it's so overshadowed by all the dumb decisions every one of the characters makes that it gets lost in the shuffle. And has a terrible message to boot.
