In this book we meet the Logan family, they own a small piece of farmland where sharecropping occurs, they live in a very racist neighborhood, and everyone in the family has different opinions on racism, some treat it in a fiesty way, some in a calm way; anyway the kids are walking to school when they see some kids on a bus, the bus drives and sprays mud on all their faces, they also realize that they have books in school but that they are old books from the white school. A burning of a black man occurs and it seperates the town, causing a store to have less business because blacks are boycotting the place. The Logans go through many personal, emotional and financial issues but are able to persevere. I would recommend this to anyone, what stands out to me in this book is the things that the Logans went through and them still pressing on, that is amazing to me.
