Summary: This is a great book for girls probably more than for boys.
Review: This book is so great that it makes you want to keep reading and reading. Cassie is a young girl, trying to finish school in Jackson and go on and be a lawyer. But then there is some trouble with her friend and he has to escape. The sheriff is looking for him but he gets on a train and goes to Chicago. Then her friend dies and she has a hard time accepting that he dies. This book can get emotional if you let it. I recommend it for young readers.

Summary: A MUST Read Book
Review: This book is very exciting and has great detail in all ways. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because it had many exciting parts and was also very sensitive. I didn't like some parts of this book because the author moved along really fast and the characters used lots of slang. Other books in this series were Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and Let the circle be unbroken. These books take place in the same place, are written by Midred D. Taylor, and have the same characters. I think that this book is the best book in this series. Mildred Taylor adds a lot of excitement to this book and makes it really exciting.

Summary: Sad, Compelling, and Exciting.
Review: This book played with my emotions and took me for a ride. The plot of this book is well written. Their friend, Moe, has attacked a white man, for his impatience of their name-calling. They must take Moe to Memphis, where he will be safe with Uncle Hammer. I'm sure you will like this book. It was excellent!

Summary: I loved it!!
Review: This book truly tells racism as it is. It's horrible to think this is the kind of people living in our country. Ms. Taylor has written a classic trilogy, with great characters. Unlike other books, the problems in this story are real, they're not just make-beleive.

Summary: So- So
Review: This book was a soso book. There were many times where I had to go back and reread pages. something I don't like to do. And to me his book was like a modle airplane. You need plenty if all most to much glue to hold the plane together. This book just had enough glue to hold it together. It still needed more. I would recomend this book to some one who is looking for a racism story. But in general I would not recomend it.

Summary: Moving
Review: This book was both exciting and sad. The characters really came to life and I couldn't put the book down. It is the 3rd in a series following 'Roll of thunder, hear my cry', and 'Let the circle be unbroken' and having read all of them, I found this the best. A black girl of 17 is telling the story. She tells of how the white people torment her friends. And in the end with the loss of four loved ones, I was in tears.

Summary: Excellent! 5 Star Quality Book!
Review: This book was so expressive in everything about it! The people seemed real, the events seemed real. It was so amazing! The troubles blacks faced was enough to drive any person today wild and we have to know how strong both black and white are because without either one of us today, nothing would be the same. When Jeremy did what he did and the consequences he faced, I realized that everything in this book counted. Mildred D. Taylor brings this story alive with a modern touch that has people want to read it. I have never read a book that made me feel the way I feel about this book. And I know you will enjoy it. It is not just some racist book. It is a good book that everyone will enjoy and I have nothing negative to say about it! You will enjoy it and I hope you found my review helpful!

Summary: Never Read Better
Review: This book was the best ever. I am a student I loved reading it. This books was very well writting and really gets you into it. The emotions and characters really touch you. They are very realistic. It was a rollercoaster of never ending emotions. I really like reading books y this author. I have read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cary, Let the Circle be Unbroken. All these books really help you to understand the characters and get to know them as if they were good friends with real emotions. I would request this book to everyone who just loves to read a good book. I really couldn't put it down. It is a vey, very good book! :)

Summary: An excellent, compelling book!
Review: This is a powerful, beautifully-written book. If you haven't read the earlier books recently before starting this one, you may have trouble telling all the young men apart. They are wonderful characters, though - completely believable and true to life - and the story is utterly gripping. I see that Taylor is "filling in" the series with short novels that feature various of the characters, and I certainly hope that she takes us further into the century - at least to 1963.
