When I was at school, studying for my GCSE's, I was forced to read this book....fortunately the book was an excellent read..and contained a very good message - that we are all the same, no matter what our skin colour and that we should not treat anyone differently because of skin colour. My appraisal goes to the author - well done!

I think the person who wrote the review 'why was it written?' doesnt understand the book. It is not encouraging us to share the views that were held towards black people in the 1930s, in fact it is highlighting the injustice and prejedice of those views and so i dont think that it is 'repressive to black people today.' I think that this is the best book to study at GCSE and it is very interesting

I am a parent of a 12 year old 8th grader who read all the required books that my child has to read. This book was one that I could not put down. It really gives great insight on how the people were treated during this period. It showed how "Little Man" knew he deserved better by not wanting a discarded textbook. It showed how peer pressure can do more harm than do. Mainly, when Stacey is tricked by TJ. TJ makes fun of his new clothes because he wanted them for himself and Stacey falls the trick. It shoulds how a family fought to hold onto to their land and dignity. It shows how a family can work together as one for the ultimate aim of keeping the land in the family. This is true family unity. This is a great book for child and parents alike. Parents can sit and discuss feelings about this book with their children.
