This is my first book in the series!
This is definitely a book for younger kids, even though it deals with some intense topics! With that being said, it’s childish but deals with topics, like death and cannibalism in an accessible way, having jokes jokes, and banter between the individual who is telling the story, and the two who are listening.
Even for a kids book, I found myself really engaged with what was happening. I was mad about the choices. That mean we’re making to endanger their families. Let’s smash the patriarchy!
One thing that I think would’ve made this book a little bit better, even though it was kind of out of scope, would’ve been a slightly more accurate and well rounded portrayal of the Native American tribes. In this book, it talks about how the native Americans did not respect the treaty but, I think it would’ve been more fair to highlight that they were taken of.

Cannibalism. The Donner Party is one of the infamous stories of such dire situation where survival and morals intersect. The third book in Nathan Hale's Hazard Tales series, this graphic novel's emotive illustrations really bring the reader into the story. Anger. Hope. Sadness. Hopelessness. Cold. Short cuts can be the death of you.
