2. Dear Moss,
It depends if the piece of the saddle was
important or not if it was you should
nicely talk to him about it. If it wasn’t you
should forget about it.

Personally I did not like this book it was
not adventurous enough for me. The
way it was written confused me. It
wasn’t written by Moss’s point of view.
Overall I would rate this book a two star
but I’m picky with books. I would
recommend this book to kids ages 10+
and who don’t like action and adventure.
Letters From Moss
Dear Noah,
Recently an Indian took a piece of my
saddle that I left lying around. In their
village if you find something lying
around you can take it and keep it. I
don’t know if I should approach him and
tell him to give it back or to leave it
alone
Sincerely Moss
