This was good, especially on #audio since the NPR journalist narrates it himself. I liked the juxtaposition of Jackson‘s history alongside the story of Cherokee leader John Ross‘ as well but just so infuriating. Jackson remains the worst president ever in my opinion. #Roll100 #BookspinBingo @PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks

I couldn‘t remember if memes/joke posts counted for points for #Scarathlon2022 other than for participation like they do for #WinterGames but I came across this and thought it was fun 👻 Here‘s mine:

When I‘m a ghost I will have to call the lord and I don‘t think they will be able to do anything for me but I‘m sure they will be fine with it 💀

Another add to my class. Set in North Carolina during the Trail of Tears. It describes how the Real People were placed in pens like animals. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to encourage and develop empathy. #MiddleGradeMay @megnews

Fiction, oral history, and written history in this tragic yet beautiful story of survival.
We have survived.

Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle handles fear, cruelty, and death openly and bluntly, but also gives readers lovable characters and a gentle sense of humor. A benefit of this being an "own voices" novel: Tingle avoids defining the Choctaw Nation by their trauma, and instead keeps the focus on their resolve and determination to survive, their traditions and spirituality, and the strength of their community. We'll definitely be reading the sequel. ❤

Well, that was a bit of a surprise. This middle-grade adventure story about the Trail of Tears started strong and kept up the pace. There was an odd scene of patriotism at the end that I didn't quite get and there's a bit of a "damsel in distress" vibe, but aside from those, I really enjoyed this novel.
This is from the Build Your Library curriculum, level 5, and my #bookspin for December. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Sounds intriguing! 4y

Those first lines 👆🏽really pulled me in right away. How I Became a Ghost takes a supernatural spin on the Choctaw Trail of Tears for young readers. The Trail of Tears is a painful, horrific chapter of Native and American history and it‘s a tough subject matter but, as a Cherokee, I am grateful to read a telling of the story at a more personal level.
