Reviewed by JohannaIch habe dieses Buch im Englisch Unterricht gelesen, aber ich kann nicht wirklich nachvollziehen warum, denn ich bin in der Oberstufe, aber das Buch ist definitiv für die Unterstufe geeignet. Aber dafür das es für 12-13 jährige geschrieben wurde, ist es viel zu sexualisiert. Es war einfach unpassend und hat meiner Meinung nicht zur Geschichte beigetragen. Das Thema „Native Americans“ fand ich zusammenfassend aber wirklich interessant.
