Book Reviews of The Donner Party (Disasters in History)
Book Review: Graphic History Book for Children
Summary: 5 Stars
The graphic library is wonderful for my ESOL students and many other students will love them too. I found this book one of the most exciting of the whole series but maybe because I am not as familiar with the story. It is about the Donner Party who traveled across the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada without heed to the weather. They were trapped in the mountains during winter and that caused them to starve. Some ate the bodies of the dead which gives the story a gruesome twist. Very interesting and kids love to learn history with these books. Especially weak readers and those learning to read English and study US history at the same time.
