Review: A key element was missing. : Look To The Hills, The Diary Of Lozette Moreau, A French Slave Girl was a "Dear America" book that interested me greatly. I thought it'd be interesting to read about another form of slavery: companions. I admit to not knowing much about this, and I thought what better way to be introduced than through the beloved "Dear America" series? I must say that I was disappointed. I think that author Patricia C. McKissack is not my type of author, and I find her plots rather boring. I didn't warm up to any of the characters, and I felt that something was missing - mainly action. For the historical point of view, I enjoyed it, but for the entertaining point of view, I didn't. I "sorta" recommend.
