The puzzle of the Indian arrowhead

Critique de Horn Book

Three boys visit Warm Springs, a spa where Franklin Roosevelt received treatment for polio. The boys solve the puzzle of why photographs show FDR and sick children smiling. The plot and dialogue are stilted, and the boys work through the ""mystery"" without clues or logic. The book includes subpar line art, discussion notes, and suggested activities. Glos.
