Entertaining and Educational
This book is a little different from the others in the Josefina series.In this book, the Montoya family travels to Santa Fe and interact with an American trader.Through this adventure we learn about urban life in New Mexico and get to know Abuelito and Abuelita a little better.This book also addresses the changes that are coming to New Mexico in a more direct way that other books in this series.Though we enjoyed the book, I do want to point out a plot point that may raise concerns for some parents:Josefina and her sister do do a dangerous thing (go to town alone -- and this is a rough frontier town), though for a noble purpose.

Should I Really Have Trusted An American?
A great book about ten year old Josefina traveling to Santa Fe. As Josefina Plays her wooden bird flute on top of the mountain she hears a copy of her flute sound. It was American Scout Patrick O'Toole. As Josefina gets to know Patrick more she and her sisters make a trade with him to get something very important for their father. But Patrick left before they got their item and Josefina has to face a fear and sneak out of the house to find out if Patrick really has gone.

This is a really good book but if you haven't read Josefina's series before than you should start with her first book and then make your way to this one. Happy Reading!

We liked this book
This is another one of the American Girls series about Josefina Montoya, a ten-year-old girl living in the New Mexico of 1824 (actually January of 1825). In this book, Josefina and her family travel to her grandfather's rancho to await the arrival of the wagon train from the United States. She meets her first American, Patrick O'Toole, a handsome scout for the wagon train. The family wants to trade blankets and mules with the Americans, but is this handsome young man trustworthy?

The final chapter is in an interesting and informative look at outdoor life in New Mexico in 1824. Jean-Paul Tibbles' illustrations, warm and filled with emotion, add a great deal to the story, and are a welcome addition.

My daughter and I both liked this book. The story has its scary parts, but it also has a nice lesson, and I enjoy the frank look at life then and there. This is another excellent book, a worthwhile addition to your library.

It teaches a lesson ,is factual,and fun to read!
