| Grade 4-7–In the mid-1800s, Josette, 13, dreams of going to Montreal to continue her education. A Métis girl whose mother has recently died, she lives in St. Eustache, west of the Red River Settlement, with her father and two younger brothers. The teen loves going to school and helping her French-speaking teachers translate words into Ojibwe. All of that ends, however, when her father decides that the family will join a cart train headed to St. Paul, MN. Nearly a year after they arrive in town, a teacher comes to establish a school and asks Josette to help her with the children's learning. The story is told in diary format, and an afterword provides background. Josette is an interesting character who's bright and friendly, but she often seems older than her years. Additionally, too many characters populate the novel, and much of the story is told and not shown. Nevertheless, the book portrays a group of people little covered in American literature. It might be of interest in Minnesota and parts of Canada. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This wasn't necessarily a bad book, I just don't think it was a very good book. While the characters appear genuine, there's really nothing remarkable about them. This book is about my native area and I just feel that so much more could have been done with the Red River ox cart journey or the description of life in early St. Paul. Add the fact that nothing really bad ever happens to Josette and the other characters, that none of them ever really get the chance to grow. We know as little about Josette in the final pages as we do in the beginning. I guess I'm saying this book is just plain boring. The author needs to improve her ability to be a storyteller. |
