Review Detail

Cassie and her family must fight for their land and watch for the whites. This book is all about racism and the whites thinking theyre better than the blacks. It started as papa came home from his job on the railroad. Everyday, when they would walk to school the white school bus would splash them and laugh. The kids thought it was a good idea to get revenge, so during lunch they did some dirty work. As the events get better and better they also get scarier. Papa got hurt, uncle hammer coming, and a fire burning cotton this family might just be doomed.

            I thought this book was great. It was a little confusing though, because it had so many characters. When it said some one new, it only told them speaking. The book gave no information of that particular person. The events were also very long for no reason, too. But still this book was very deep and interesting.
