Roll of thunder, Hear My Cry is a great book. I didn't read it for school, I read because my dad bought it for my sister and I after suggesting we read it. He said that he didn't read a lot back then, but he read this over and over again

A piece historical fiction that made me see the unfathomable from a fresh point of view. Hard to believe that this reflects US history. I will read it again, and again.

so many people think this is a "bad book" because it talks about negros and some of the white people call the black people niggers. i don't understand why. i mean that is part of life. this did happen and we shouldn't forget it so that it won't happen again. i think anyone can and should read this book. the girl in the book is curious and wants to know why she i treated differently than the white people. in the end whites and blacks have to come together to save a farm and no one is segregating!! i recommend this book to anyone of all ages!!!!!!

From Curtis: It is about this poor family during the great depession and the family gets really segregated. Favorite quote: "That old snaggle- tooth- chicken- legged- cross!!" I recommend this book to a higher level reader.
