Love it. It teaches kids about slavery. And even though it's violent, I think that that's part of the point- the evils of slavery.

new perspective
I really really enjoyed this book. There were some times where the racism made me mad, but it really gives you a new perspective on how people think. This book helps you to understand how hard it really was, and sometimes still is for people of different races to live with eachother. It really opends your eyes up

A discussion starter
I began reading this book in what began as sun filled morning with just a few clouds. As read the novel, it began to rain and my heart grow as somber as the tale Lester begins to tell. As a native of South Carolina and an African American I truly appreciate how this story weaves the history of blacks and their relationships with each other and whites of the times. This novel will begin a conversation of healing and understanding for a terrible time in American history.

i love this book but i don't lik the slave sellers or the people who think it's right to sell slaves. But i think that everybody should give it a try it'a a very talented book and is one of the best books i'v ever read. it's very educational and tells about the past and why and how slaves got out and had a good rest of ther life. (that's always good to here). <3 Bridget<3
