The Round House (Jocelyn’s Pick)

Discussion:
Julie- Didn’t like it in the beginning, to heartbreaking. Ended up really enjoying it. Wordy at times, but liked the grammar. Would recommend. 3.5/5
Jocelyn- I liked it. Learned a lot about living on a Reservation and the laws that apply. Loved that it was told through a 13-year-old boys point of view. Would recommend. 3.5/5
Ali- Yawning in the beginning, then became intrigued. Liked the 80’s descriptions. Loved the frienships. Felt educated. Would recommend. 3/5
Maren- Hard to get into. Lots of characters, but well written. Liked that the village fed everyone. Would recommend. 4/5
Meriah- DID NOT FINISH. WILL GET PIE TO THE FACE!!
Favorite Characters: Julie- Cappy and Mooshum Jocelyn- Father Travis and Cappy Ali- Cappy and Linda Maren- Linda, Aunt Clemance, and Grandma
