An OK book that I'm rounding up to four because the characters and historical perspectives are so underrepresented in other books, not to mention other YA or other Westerns. At the same time, I wasn't in love with this book, and I hope it paves the way for bigger and better ones. This is exactly the kind of girls dealing with shit adventure that I stayed up too late reading as a youth, and here I am doing it again right now. I love Oregon Trail novels. I love girls pretending to be boys. I love boys being really stupid and and yet gallant about it. Plus, what a great friendship between Andy and Sammy. It's great to see historical themes of race and gender explored in a historical context and while being expertly buoyed up by themes of growing up, figuring out life, and friendship that make YA great. Do rec. A diverse historical fiction book with adventure, romance, and humor. Its also a bit graphic at times and deals with some pretty heavy topics. Overall I enjoyed it, although I think it could have been a bit more cohesive. Complex characters and the emotional and physical journey the protagonist takes make this a good read. In 1849, Chinese-American girl Sam and her runaway slave friend Annamae disguise themselves as boys and head west to California to escape what's chasing them and to find key elements of their pasts. An excellent potato chip YA book, where the premise is a bit unlikely and some of the background is spoon-fed/lacking depth, and you can kinda guess what's coming, but it doesn't matter because the story and character voices and especially pacing are so well done. (I think the author put a lot of herself into Sam.) If you like complex, this book probably isn't for you -- but if you're a fan of YA escapism and the premise tickles you, I'd encourage you to go for it. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
