I am reading this book in class, and honestly this book is great. I wouldn't of picked this book, but I realized that some non-fiction books are really great. I am so sad when we have to put the book down!

Historical fiction - author did a great job researching and telling the story of Mary Jemison. Great way to connect studies of the Senecas, French, Haudenosaunee League, use of the Longhouse, the 3 sisters, etc.
