Rating:  Summary: "One of the Greatest Books!" said Weakley Times Review: This book is about the logan faimly who were black that lived back in the old days where blacks and whites didn't get along at all. The logan faimly runs into alot of problems including their child running away to get money for the farm . My favorite part was when they saved a mans life from being beat up by the white people for helping the blacks. My favorite character is Stacey because he is brave and couragious. I read this book because it sounded intresting,and it was. Now you should read it.

Rating:  Summary: A Review of Let the Circle Be Unbroken Review: Mildred D. Taylor has written an excellent sequel to her story on the Logan family! T.J. Avery is tried by an all-white jury in this book. The Logan kids go to the trial even though they aren't supposed to. Cassie learns more about segregation while she is here, she can't use the bathroom or the drinking fountain. Mr. Jamison gives good arguments for T.J. and you think that they can't possible find him guilty of murder, but they do. He gets the death penalty. Their cousin, Bud, comes to visit and things don't go well between him and Uncle Hammer because he has a white wife. Cousin Bud leaves saying he wants to bring his daughter Suzella down to come visit her father's family. Sure enough, a few weeks later, Suzella comes. She looks a lot like Mama except for the color of her skin. A local white boy, Stuart Walker, makes the mistake of thinking she is white. Cassie does not like Suzella much because she goes around acting like she's white. The farmers around the town are all having to plow up part of their cotten as part of a new government thing to make the price of cotton go up. Stacey is going through some changes, too. He doesn't feel like staying at home and going to school when the family needs money. He also likes a girl named Jacey Peters, who's two years older and who Stuart Walker gets pregnant. He runs off with Moe Turner to work in the cane fields in Louisiana to earn some money, but never gets it. A black neighbor, Miz Lee Annie Lees gets a copy of the state constitution and decides to study it and registar to vote. When she goes and registars, she doesn't pass and gets kicked off her land by Harlem Granger. This is an excellent sequel to "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", you should read it!!
Rating:  Summary: Will the Circle Stay Unbroken? Review: The year is 1935. Cassie Logan and her colored family live in Mississppi in the middle of the Depression. Every day, they face hardships, from the trial of a misled friend, to the everyday discrimination from the white people. Every year, they worry about the land, which is their life, on which the cotton grows. The cotton that pays their taxes, feeds them, and clohes them. In Let The Circle Be Unbroken, sequal to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Cassie learns the hardships of being black. She learns of discimination, both of the hatredand the white's supposed superiority. But that is not all. When her cousin Suzalla, who is jealous of the attention that everyone pays to her. asie, howerer, later learns about the difficulty of haring to chose between two races, and of being a stuck in the middle. When Suzella later leaves, her feelings have changed. But when her brother, Stacey, runs away fearing that the taxes can't be paid, Mrs. Lee Annie Lees decides to try to vote, and many farmers both black and white have to plow down their cotton, she does not adjust her feelings so easily. It will take her family and friends a lot of courage to pull them through these problems. When I read this book, I felt that I was in the book, seeing, feeling, and hearing everything. This book is a bit on the sad side, but it doesn't overdo it. I can feel that the author, Mildred D. Taylor, put a lot of planning and thought into it. I appreciate her time, for this book is well worth taking my time, and I could find few faults. I gave Let the Circle Be Unbroken 5 stars because the book took me straight into the plot and stayed there. It let me see into the worst of the discrimination of the time, and showed how a brave family pulled their way through. I would reccomend the book to anyone, for I think it would be worth their time, too.
Rating:  Summary: Uplifting, powerful book, with lots of feeling Review: Let the circle be unbroken is a great book. Once again all the kids are joined together. It is narrated by Cassie, now eleven, who is dealing with Stacey growing up. A new character comes, the kids cousin. Their cousin has a lot to learn about her family, including she can't change who she is. Then Miss Lee Annie, an elderly friend, up and gets an idea in her head that she wants to vote. Stacey and Moe run off looking for work, and Cassie, Christopher-John, Little Man, Big Ma, Mama, Papa, Suzella, and Mr. Morrison are all worried, including the rest of the black community. Then talk of an union comes! These kids sure had a lot to deal with! We really have it easy! Once you start this great book, you won't want to put it down!!! I'm a normal kid in a normal town, just reading a good book.
Rating:  Summary: A sequel of a very great story........ Review: A sequel of ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY. This book is still about the Logans and their problems. They are being filled with lots of problems one after another. Firstly, its about T.J., who was accused of murdering a white man, secondly, about the plowing of lands. Thirdly, Suzella, Mary's nephew's daughter, who was mixed bood of black and white. And last but not least, the search for Stacey, who went missing after finding a job. It all started after their father left for work on the railroads and they were told that he could not come back for revival. and Stacey decided to search for work to pay for the expenses. Then, about Suzella trying to be a white person and her father, Cousin Bud(a colored man), had to face the consequences. Then, the case about Stuart Walker, a white, made Jacey Peters, a colored teen girl, pregnant. And now Stuart is after Suzella because he thought that Suzella was white because of her pale skin. Then the story continues.
Rating:  Summary: Loved it! Review: As a huge fan of Mildred D. Taylor's I was determined to finish reading the entire series over my summer break. I am happy to say that I DID IT! These books are great and I have used them as a teaching tool in my classroom. Children of many ages are able to relate to the characters in some way. This story deals with several issues that people in the South faced in the early 1900's. Just as the others, the story is touching. The issue of voting rights for African-Americans in a key element in this book. Cassie and her family find themselves in a tense situation to say the least as they attempt to help a family friend register to vote in rural Mississippi. This is just one of the many ordeals that the Logan's find themselves facing in this story. Some of the storyline seems incomplete but overall it's a wonderful book!
Rating:  Summary: An Awesome Book Review: This book is realy good. It tells you from a point of veiw of an African American, named Cassie. It is a sequel to ROll of THunder Hear My Cry. This book tells you what happenes to T.J when he goes on trial with all whites. HE didn't even do anything too. Cousin Suzella comes to live with CAssie. SHe tries to pass for white, and a mess happenes with her father. At the end, Stacy disappears. Everyone goes crazy trying to find him.....as i said this book is REALI good!
