Review: Not the best : In this Dear America book, Land of the Buffalo Bones, Polly Rodgers and her family travel from England to Minnesota with hopes of a better life. They are very disappointed. Polly and her family have troubles, with not knowing what to do, or how to live on the land. That being said, this book isn't the best in the series, it simply lacks something, you don't really feel close to the characters, and the overall story is kind of dry. It's not a bad book, there are simply better Dear America books to be read.
