Summary: Leon's Tragedy
Review: I think Leon's Story is an awesome book! It is about this boy that lives in this horrible world. It is a very sad book, you could cry some and you can laugh some. The saddest part was when Leon's dad got ran over. I think it was real strong of Leon and his family to march to get freedom. I recommend this book to anyone that can read because I think that everyone should read this book and know what they had to go through back in those days. Once again it is a very awesome book!

Summary: Tom's book review
Review: In this book, Leon's story, it is about a young man named Leon. He was a colored boy who grew up in the times of slavery. Leon has to learn how to act around others of another race so he doesn't get himself in any trouble. Leon also has to learn how to hide from the ku-klux-klan. The most important and shocking part of this book happened on Leon's 15 birthday. On this day Leon's parents go to the store and on their return they are approched by a group of three young white boys driving in their car, the outcome of this is not very good. Most of this book was written in a way so that it was like the author was actually speaking to you person to person. This was a pretty interesting book and if I had to I would probably read it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leon's Tragedy
Review: Leon's story is about a boy who lives in the segregation times. He is about 12 when he is telling this story. It is his story about his life and how he got through it. He is pretending like this segregation thing isn't even happening. One day he was going to this little restaurant to get something to eat, and black people can't enter in the front way because white people don't like it when they enter that way. Black people have to enter through the back and order something to eat. When black people go back there, there is a white person who waits on them. Leon said that if they want to wait on you they will come. There is no bell or anything like that. Leon will just wait to get waited on and he will order something. This book is really awesome and very educational. I would recommend this book to anyone who can read. The best story element for this book would be the suspense. This book is packed with suspense. It got me guessing all the way through. I really enjoyed this book and I hope you do too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Leon's Tragedy
Review: Leon's Story is an awesome book. I think it was the best book I have ever read in the segregation times. It is about this boy named Leon,he and his family are poor. His mom has to for white people. I think that is awful. The most interesting part was when they were marching for freedom. They didn't give up they just kept going and fighting. They had to go through a lot to do all that. This is an awesome book I recommend it to everybody.

Rating: 5 stars
