I think this book has Newbery potential. It’s a great story about the civil rights movement. It has an interesting plotand unique characters.
I loved the book it was great and made me cry. But I love the book and I love Shana’s books I have read all of them.
I read this book at school, and it reminds me of the movie “The Help” Enjoyed(: Thank God, times have changes.
