Even knowing how history turns out in regards to treatment of Native Americans by colonial settlers, it was hard reading this fictional recounting of that treatment, with Little Bear, Bright Stars and crew as the focus. It was interesting watching Omri's Dad (and eventually Mom) discover this little world, and to see Gillon's unplanned misadventures with the magic key. I'll be honest, knowing that there are no more stories in this series, I'm missing the characters already. This was a lovely series, and I'm glad I gave it a (re)read.
