Summary: 5th gradeT.A.G. literature discussion group comments . . .
Review: This pleasurable and entertaining book talks about mothers and children, life and death, and most of all, love that can only come from a family. (Jessica)I liked JOURNEY TO JO'BURG because it was compelling and well-written. The author wrote about a good problem and it was suspenseful. (Thomas) I liked this book because it's a historical fiction. It captures the sense of slavery in some parts. It's suspenseful and it's a good book. I give this book four stars. (Garrett) For two children, a dangerous journey to find their mother could be more than dangerous, it could be deadly. I give this book 2 stars. It was too serious to be interesting to me. The problems were large but they seemed unreal. I felt the book was boring. (Hillary) Two children set off on a long, dangerous journey to find their "Mma". Along the way, we learn how apartheid effects South Africa. (Kisa) I partially liked this book. What I disliked was the abrupt destruction and depression, people getting killed and 8 year olds being shot. Still, this book is full of danger, excitement and suspenseful. (Alex)

Summary: Not good
Review: This was a boring book. The title is deciving. It might be good for 1st and 2nd graders, however.
Nadeli and Tiro go to Jo'burg to find there mother, because their little sister Dineo is dying. But that is all that seems to happen, and they really don't spend much time in Jo'burg. Overall, it is a boring book

Summary: Blechh!
Review: What an awful book! I don't even know where to begin. Well, first of all, Naledi's plan to walk to Jo'burg with a couple of yams and two bottles of water was downright stupid. I would expect the same of a particularly stupid five-year-old. I would certainly expect better from a fourteen-year-old girl. Also, the book was shorter than my absolute minimum, 100 pages. How can a person gain any knowledge from a 75 page book? One last thing-- it was so predictable, all the way through! Take my advice and read Tolkien instead, which, by the way, is fabulous.

Summary: Book Review
Review: When I was assigned to read Jounrey to Jo'Burg, I thought 'this sounds really boring'. But it wasn't! Jounrey to Jo'Burg is now one of my favorite books I've ever read in school! It's about Naledi and Tiro who go off to find their mother because their little sister, Dineo, is sick. It was kind of a cliffhanger, but I'm a fast reader(GT reading) and I read it in one day.
