A little stereotypical in its depiction of the little boy (blue and muscles) but otherwise cute.

A really interesting look at the Borden murders. I was really intrigued by the whole thing. I like that Miller presents the information as neutrally as possible. It's up to the reader to decide what they feel about it.

Such a good book. I loved Perry so much, and had very strong feelings about Mr. Van Leer. I suppose he meant well, and I can sort of see his point. I thought Connor did an excellent job of creating complex characters, and I very much enjoyed reading from both Perry and his mother's perspective.

Just the kind of slightly twisted story I like. :)

Excellent illustrations, but I do agree with Debbie Reese's opinion that an author's note would be very helpful, just to make sure that the book isn't used to "come up with an Indian name" or to explain that the book is not specific to one tribe (or, if it is, which tribe.) Otherwise, it's an wonderful story.
