Series Review: Josefina’s Story Collection (American Girl)

So you'll be happy to know that things all work out in the end. But it felt a bit convoluted.

It didn't frustrate me like the lesson story where she doesn't actually learn to read or write. But I felt like they could have or Valerie the author could have expanded a bit more and just given us more of that historical context that I am really looking for when I read these books.

So that frustrated me a little bit. I was kind of like, oh, that was a bit of a let down on that one.

The fifth story is Hosaphina Saves the Day and this was my favorite book of this collection because it was actually adventurous and exciting and we are in Santa Fe. So, we're in a different location, which I really appreciated.

There just needed to be more adventure, more historical context. I still gave it three stars because it wasn't like there was something bad about it. I just wish I just wanted more.

It's a sweet story. I mean it's it's a there's a lot of religion in there. So it was a it's like a bit much for me in a way, but I understand why it is important at for this time and context, but oh man, it is a lot.

Other than that, I thought this was a solid setup for the rest of the series and it was a good way to kind of get to know this bigger family and their lifestyle.
