4.0
Adventurous with a nice bow tied at the end! Lots of info about the Great Depression and the US’s treatment of Native Americans. Lovable narrator. But HUGE trigger warning: bad things happen to children throughout the book!
Graphic: Child abuse, Death of parent, and Gun violence
Moderate: Sexual assault
Child endangerment and violence toward children are key plot points and themes!!!!!
