Summary: Waiting for the Rain was a excellent book.
Review: Waiting for the rain was a great book because it lets kids understand what has happened, and is still happening in the world. I enjoyed it because of the powerful events and the way Shelia Gordon displayed her characters. I read this book for a book report, and it gave me a lot of things to talk about in my report. It turns out, I got an A+. All in all, this was an excellent book written by an excellent author

Summary: My Review of "Waiting For the Rain"
Review: Reading "Waiting for the Rain" was like watching a good television show. I thought it was a good book to read if you like to know about segregation. The book was pretty good, but dull. It also gave a lot of information on the history of South Africa and Apartheid. Tengo was the main character. He had a best friend named Frikkie. Tengo is black and Frikkie is white. They are separated by their color and what is going on in S. Africa. The only thing I saw wrong with the book was that there wasn't much action. The book is mostly about friendship and color. The other thing that was bad was the ending. It doesn't say what happened to each of them afterward. I would change the ending if I could or make it longer. The book was an overall of 4 out of 5 stars. You should read it.

Summary: ok book
Review: It wasn't really that good of a book. It had is ups and downs. Frikkie was the main person in the book but then it became tengo who was the main person. It was intresting though. Tengo was a black boy and Frikkie was a white boy who grow up as friends but soon as the war starts they are separted by trust and friendship. You will find out more as you read the book. So I give it a 3 out of 5 it was ok but it had some boring parts along the way.
