LitPick Review
Gianna Saldana has never met her father, but when a Halloween costume search leads to the old black trunk in the spare bedroom, will her luck change?
On a search to find her father and herself, Gianna enlists the help of Mr. Williams, one of her teachers. When a chance encounter with a relative brings her even closer to the truth, can Gianna piece together her life and the mystery behind her father's disappearance?
Opinion:
This book was an interesting combination of mystery and history. I am proud to say I learned some Choctow while reading this book. It has a very good plot and a feel-good ending. My favorite part(s) were all the strange coincidences; it was truly surprising. Although this was a good book, I did have trouble imagining the setting. I would recommend this book to 2nd-6th graders and to avid young readers.
