Kaya's Escape!, by Janet Beeler Shaw

3.0

I didn't love the pacing. It was action packed but we often didn't dwell on feelings. Probably because this book dealt with some very traumatic things but that meant we never acknowledged that. For young readers, this would be especially upsetting. I really wish we could have avoided traumatic events, especially as an indigenous story. I understand that the American Girls series changed the formatting of story planning around this era but I can't help think that we remove how many skills Kaya has by removing the "lessons" titling of the second book.
