Donner Dinner Party: A Pioneer Tale by Nathan Hale

4.0

Why isn't everyone talking about these? A graphic novel account of real historical events that is funny and true? COME ON. This book sells itself on title and cover alone (it is the most asked about book on my "Ask Me What I'm Reading" display ever), but it's careful cannibalism storytelling (there's a sentence I never thought I'd type) and Donner Party research is what makes this one good. For me personally, this is a 3.5, but I'll bump it to 4 for its sellability to mature elementary schoolers and all middle schoolers.
