This book is a highly auspicious beginning to the incomparable (and still continued!) legendary saga of the Logan family. Mildred D. Taylor coaxes forth a lot of resonant feeling in these spare pages, writing with an elegance that belies her literary skill. I have found that while many people have read "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", very few have also gone through this book that came first, and they are unaware that some events hinted at in the pages of "Roll of Thunder, Hear My

Though this book is short. I think it's a good book because it talks about the differences of two different races and how they settle arguments even though it's not a very pleasing conclusion. I am still mixed up about what gender Stacey is because I know Stacey as a name for girls not boys. Also, I can't believe that this story is based from a story that happened to the author's father. I learned that you should always stand up for what you believe in even if the consequences will hurt you.

VERY short book-- of all the books I have read by Taylor so far this was the least impressive. Plotline is simple and I found it not developed enough to really have the major impact emotionally-- characters also had no time to be developed. If this was my first Taylor read I would not be compelled to read more.

This is a heart warming story about a little black girl who did not want a white man to cut down all the trees on her property. This book is written when blacks were still seperated from whites. Will she make a difference for blacks everywhere?

Read this book in approximately 2003, while in high school. I really liked it as a high school student and came across the book at a local book store and bought it.

I actually read this book a while ago in my English class...It's kind of sad seeing how black families were treated back during the depression.

This was good almost as good as Roll of Thunder hear my Cry. If you read Roll of Thunder hear my cry read this book.
Loved this book, teached you about history.
My teacher recommened this book to me in 7th grade, I really liked it even though it took me awhile to get through. I really want to read the other books in this series, I only read Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry. So if you like these books then read the rest of the series.

Cassie and her three brothers try to stop the white men from chopping down all their trees. This is a scary, heartwarming story. I hated the white guys, and I loved the black Father who turned out to be a hero. This book shows what times were like in America at one time, and is good for breaking down or preventing racial prejudices.

I had to present an oral book report on this novel sans notes in front of my 3rd grade class. I froze and forgot what to say. And there you have one of the worst school experiences of my life.
