Summary: Spite Fences
Review: I had to read Spite Fences for school, and although the beginning was a bit slow, the pace quickly picked up and made me want to read more. Spite Fences is about a girl named Maggie who deals with many struggles of life in the 1960's. She deals with racism, unfair treatment from her parents and rude neighbors. I would definately recommend this book.

Summary: Wow! I lucked out at the check out stand...
Review: I was looking for some pleasure reading late one night at the grocery store when I picked up this book. Rarely have I encountered characters like Maggie and George Hardy. I not only wanted to know what happens next, I wanted to know their entire life stories.

Maggie is an independent spirit being smothered by a small close-minded Southern town and an abusive mother. She is struggling with finding an identity that isn't prescribed for her. Maggie challenges her town's definitions of racial roles at a time when the Civil Rights movement is finding its way into small town Georgia. She is an example of the definition of courage. It doesn't mean the absence of fear, it means not letting your fears stop you from following your heart and soul.

This book is best suited for mature middle school and high school readers, but adults will enjoy it at a much deeper level.

Review: Spite Fences Trudy Krisher

When you first read this book about Spite Fences you will know this book is a really good book and you will not want to put it down. This book is about the different between colors and blacks. Or the different about two neighbors. This book is about how Maggie really like to what she wants. She has a camera that she got from a good friend. Her family lives next door to these people that they can't stand at all. They can't clean they house; they have garbage all over the lawn. Maggie lives in a neighborhood were the people are poor. She lives in the neighborhood of whites and her best friend lives in the neighborhood where the blacks live. So, I hope you read this book because I found out its really good. I think that this book is for a reader who likes the peace in this world. If you are also a person who likes to read about a strong person.

Summary: A serious book but good
Review: This book is about a white girl named Maggie who lives in a town called Kinship who deals with racial differences.The book is good but there are some parts that are detailed and graphic. But a great book over all.

Summary: A New Classic
Review: This book ranks up with the greats like Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" or Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men".

Never have I read a book with such well-written characters. Krisher has quite an ability to dig deep into the human soul and find the core of human emotion.

It's the story of a young white girl who goes against society by befriending a black man. Maggie Pugh must deal with all the hardships of teenage life, along with poverty, abuse, and so much more.

A must read for people of all ages.
