Book Review
Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry

Reviewed by: Joel Gaines
 | It=s available in paperback |
| This book is about a little girl named Cassie and her struggle with
racism. Throughout the story people try to do everything they can to get her
family off their land which is the very thing that is keeping them together.
Their strength and courage is found in fighting for their rights and their
self worth. The plot was excellent and the character were developed in a way
people can relate. I relate to the father and his ability to stay strong for
the sake of the family and his land. The ideal age for this book is 10 years
old and up so children can understand exactly what is going on. This should
be read aloud for children to discuss the problems that are found within. It
addressees belonging, self esteem and aesthetics. |
