Footprints on Snow: Seven Brave Women Who Shaped Northwest Mountain History | Inspiring True Stories for Hikers, Adventurers & History Lovers

I knew going in that with a 58 page book profiling 7 inspiring women, there was not going to be a lot of detail given to each. This is very much the case. It is only really a very brief description of the major achievement(s) of each woman that are included. Pam Olmsted Bobroff's grandmother isn't even named in the entire "chapter" on their summer at Suntop; she's just called "Grandmother."Word selection and usage and the formatting of the "chapters" are definitely geared towards younger readers and frankly is a bit clumsy and disjointed at times in my opinion; most of the chapters remind me of a compilation of history reports written by a group of middle school students, but shorter. Amazon notes the recommended ages as being 9 to 12, but personally I think 12 year olds would be a little old for this book, depending on reading ability. I would suggest a range of 7 to 8 years of age being closer to the mark.That being said, the women profiled in this book were incredible pioneers, and definitely deserve to have their stories told. I just think they deserve it to be in a better format and with more detail and skill than this book provided.
