Powwow Day by Traci Sorell

2.5

I understand that River is very upset about not being able to dance at the powwow, but it felt just a bit underdone? I wish there was a bit more attention given to her illness, but all we got is that her hair is shorter than her sister's and mother's (so it is not as if someone died recently) and that something is wrong with her legs. I do appreciate the way powwow was depicted and how River is sure by the end that she will be able to dance next year, but it could have been so much better if there was more care in refining who River was.
