The Colloquialism
This book isn't bad. It stages the hard life of of being a girl which is hard in America but things are even worse when she is black. It's quite sad to hear that even the dark skinned children are bullied even by the teacher. Racism is a very strong topic in this book and in life. This book has a message. Have you discovered the message. This isn't about how adventurous the story is. It's the sad story of people who aren't accepted because of their look. Very inspirational. I recommend this for more mature people who understand that it isn't funny.
