Beautifully written
My 13 year old daughter was reading this book for school. So I thought I would join her. What better way to connect with your child than share the love of books. So I read the first page. I wasn't too sure about it, but 6 hours later, I am done with it. I couldn't put it down. Cassie is a young African-American girl who is naive to her era and the position of her race during that time. All ...

Because of Winn-Dixie review
I thought that this was a really good book. It was kinda sad and happy at the same time. I thought that it was sad because I felt kinda bad for Opal, the main character of the book, because I could never imagine not having a mother. At the same time I felt happy for her because she had found friends in the end and of course Winn-Dixe in the beginning. I would recommend this book to other ...

The Land (Coretta Scott King Author Award Winner)
Mildred D. Taylor

Dial, 2001

The Land is Mildred D. Taylor's wonderful prequel to her Newbery Medal winner, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry . In the stories Taylor has to tell, life is not fair, hard work doesn't always pay off, and the good guy doesn't always win. That's because this extraordinary author tells the stories of her African American family in the Deep South during and after the Civil War, a time of ugly, painful racism. Paul-Edward Logan, the son of a ...

Fantastic
This is a timeless classic about racism in the south after the civil war. I had to read this book for school, and i absolutely loved it. I became hooked on it. It was a really interesting book, it was so decriptive I could feel what the characters felt.

The boy that was there would not give him what he wanted so he asked for the owner and he came out to see what the problem was and he gave him what he asked for. ...

At a time of Barack Obama being nominated for President, it is good to look back at what was
This book is about the old south, a place of deep-seated segregation and racial bias. It is told through the eyes and voice of a lightly educated white boy named Jeremy whose father despises blacks. Yet, the boy clearly has not had the race hatred deeply ingrained into his persona, as he tries to be friendly and feels bad when the whites mistreat a black man (Josias) for simply stating that he ...

Really good book...
This book is good if you want to know more about how black people were treated. It has some bad language and it will make you mad but you keep reading.
