The Devil’s Paintbox by Victoria McKernan is a tragic tale of life on the Oregon Trail. It’s a story about starvation, sickness, death, but also a story of hope, friendship, and perseverance. It’s certainly not a story for the faint of heart. Check out this trailer for the book.

What a powerful book! The bullying incidents described so vividly in this book made me feel the character’s emotions. And I was reminded of my years in school. I thought about my classmates and how mean they could be. Then I thought about myself. Did I join in? Did I stand by and just let it happen? These are important questions to confront. Watch the trailer below and consider reading this one. You won’t regret it. P.S. If you liked Thirteen Reason Why by Jay Asher, I am pretty sure you’ll like this book too.
