MY NAME IS AMERICA: Oregon Trail

Welp, it's Oregon Trail time. I feel like I've read a lot of historical fiction about these journeys and they're all very similar, just with varying degrees of tragedy. Jedediah's is moderate in that regard, with the biggest tragedy taking place before the book even starts. He's the only survivor of a river-crossing gone wrong. He loses both parents and his younger sister.

Jed's an engaging character and the story was enjoyable. The cast of characters is quite good. This is the author's only contribution to any of the DA series, which is unfortunate. I would have liked to have seen more from her.
