One more book down

I have been reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry with my class. And I wanted to show them about the outcome of T.J.'s trial - T.J. is the young black boy who is used by two white boys to commit a crime that leads to murder - which occurs in the sequel, Let the Circle Be Unbroken.

So of course I couldn't just thumb through it to find the references - I had to read it over again. Mildred Taylor is really a fine writer. I am impressed when my students seem to recognize excellent writing - gives me hope!!

I loved those books! I need to re-read them too.
