Summary: The best Logan story yet!
Review: I LOVED this book! After reading ALL of the preceeding Logan stories by Taylor, I couldn't wait to dive into this book. It's a wonderful "coming of age" story. Cassie Logan and her brother Stacy, along with their childhood friends find themselves on what turns out to be a more than an eventful journey to Memphis. Cassie and the others experience the South in the early 1900's outside of the protective reach of their father David, Uncle Hammer, Mr. Morrison, and family friend Wade Jamison. Readers begin to see Cassie as a young woman instead of a little girl in this story. We still see some of the characters from the previous books and are introduced to a list of exciting new ones. I really think that this is the best of Taylor's novels. I hope there will be a follow-up.

Summary: A gripping book that leaves you longing for more
Review: I read the first two books of the series years ago, but only just recently discovered this book even existed. I just finished it. My only complaint about it is that there is no sequel. In the end, I was left wondering, Does Cassie become a lawyer? How many of the boys in that book died in a white man's war? Was Moe ever caught and prosecuted? Did Troy Aames die?But this book was real; it allowed you to experience what happened firsthand; and while it dealt with serious, weighty issues, it was a joy to read. Anyone who hasn't read it has missed something. It is MUST reading! Mildred D. Taylor is a gifted author with few that are her equal. She has the ability to write in such a way that the reader lives the story instead of just reads it. Because that is true, her books do, on some level, change the lives of those who read them.

Summary: An exeptional book!
Review: I read this book and I had a lot of things in common with the charaters, which made it realistic, and I felt like I was the one who was on my way to Memphis! The Road to Memphis left me wondering about what was coming next after I was done with each chapter. I never got bored with it and I was on the edge of my seat a lot of the times! To think of what Casey and her friends went through scares me because I have to think, would I be that loyal to my friends and would they be that loyal to me? To know that things like that happened make me wonder why people could ever be racist and make me not want to be racist even more than I already am.

Summary: I Loved This Book!!!!!!!!!
Review: I read this book in one day!! I read "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry" in 8th grade as a class requirment and I loved it and I started looking for the sequals and prequals a couple of weeks ago. So far I like this one the best. Cassie Logan is 17 and still has a temper when it comes to segragation and one of the young white boys Jeremy Simms cousin Statler is setting eyes on young and beautiful Cassie Logan. an incident happens causing the Moe to flee to Memphis with the help of Cassie, Stacie, Clarence, Little Willie, and Jeremy Simms. On the way Cassie meets a very handsome man in a cafe........... Great book I highly reccomend you read it or get it for your child. Taylor is very good in expressing the hardships of the African American people during that time period.

Summary: very deep and moving
Review: I think that this book excellently portrays the horrendous racism towards African Americans in the south during the 1930's and 40's. Anyone who reads this book will be more aware of the way society worked during that time period. It's a must-read!

Summary: A definite must read book
Review: I thought The Road To Memphis was a very dramatic,compelling book. This is the third novel in the series written about the Logan family. This book takes place in 1941, right before the outbreak of World WarII. Cassie is 17 years old and a senior in high school dreaming of going onto law school. Stacey is working in Jackson and is driving his first car. A sequence of tragic events, incuding pregnancy and death, threatens to seperate the family, possibly forever. In Jackson Moe lashes out at his white tormentors, an act unheard of in Mississippi back then, almost killing them. Cassie, Stacey and their friends must try to get Moe to Memphis and safety. At the end of the book it doesn't tell you what happens to Jeremy, Stacey, Moe or Cassie. I found myself asking what happened to them? Mildred D. Taylor is and excellent writer. In reading this book I found she depicted the magnitude of racism in the 1940's very well. It really gave me an idea of what life was like in that era. It also made me realize how times have changed and how ucky I am to live in this day and age. I would suggest this book to readers who are old enough to comprehend the realism of it. This is a great book that I think all people should read at sometime in their life.
