A review by paulabellman
The Children's Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin

emotional sad tense fast-paced

4.0

I would have given this book a 5* if the characters were more developed. I felt this bookbread like YA.

I love to read about the pioneers and the difficulties they experienced while forming the west. One room school houses w a teacher who was barely old enough to be out of school are so fascinating. 

So much responsibility placed on young adults in this story.
