The Journal of Jesse Smoke: A Cherokee Boy

207 pp. | Scholastic | June, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-12197-3 $$10.95
(4) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Sixteen-year-old Jesse records the experiences of his family as they are relocated by the U.S. government and walk the "Trail of Tears." Though a historical note provides background information, the fictional text also includes additional factual material that strains at the confines of the journal format and slows the pace of Jesse's story. A selection of historical reproductions is included.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
