Review: Marlene Carvell, the author of "Who Will Tell my Brother?" puts great detail in describing the actions of the characters. It's about a senior boy who tries to change the school mascot. The school disagrees with his disions and treat him diffent. They go so far that they, or someone, end up killing his dog. But then he realizes that racism is just an opinion. And then everything changes back to normal, excpt butch, Evan's dog. And the worse thing about it is that Butch was Evan's childhood friend and that His brother might not take it to well if he found out what happen to his friend.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This book is one of the few adolescent books that produced a "WOW" from me while reading. I was so moved by the book that I read it to my classes because we did not have enough copies in the library to read individually. The message in this story is clearly and eloquently spoken -- The children shall lead us from our own mistaken courses. I recommend this to everyone from age 12 to 100. If you can read it without being moved, I will be surprised. It has become a staple in my curriculum when teaching about tolerance and change.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: This is one of the most beautifully created books I have ever read in my entire life. It's sort of wierd how it's written in poetry, but once you start reading it, you can't stop, and you'll start to understand it more. I encourage every sing soul to read this book. Male and female both young and old--you will truly be blessed.

Summary: This is a great must-read!!!
Review: We read this book in our freshman English class. I am proud to say that the book was based on events that happened at our school and that Mrs. Carvell works in our district so my class was able to ask her questions regarding these events. Thanks to her son's determination the mascot issue has been resolved in our school. This book, from a Native American's point of view, shows that we do not honor the Natives with these mascots, in fact, we take away there dignity. I liked the fact that this book connects with many students at many different levels.
