Summary: The Witness
Review: Wow!The Witness written by Karen Hesse a Newbery award winner for this book.Also the author of Out of the Dust.This was a great book.It didn't have any capital letters in it but it was still a great book.The Witness is about a 12 year old African-American girl named Leonora Sutter and a 6 year-old Jewish girl named Esther Hirsh and how their lives changed when the Ku Klux Klan moves into their small town in Virginia.The KKK does not want any one out of their rase, color or religion,so they first try to kill the Sutters by poisoning their well,but the person they sent doesn't do it.At the same time a person shoots Esther's dad trying to shoot Esther.They blamed it all on the guy who tried poisoning the Sutter's well but Leonora is the only witness there that saw him.I think you should read this book to see who really shot Esther's dad!
