An excellent transitional book for children in grades 4-6, short and a fast read. The book has some outdated words and would not be suitable for some ages. Please read this book ahead of time in order to be prepared with explanations and modifications if reading this book aloud to students. This book takes place in Mississippi during the great depression.

an extremely grim short story told from the point of view of jeremy. despite being a minor character in ROTHMC i always found him to be a sympathetic and sad character. enjoyed reading events from his perspective.
Very brief story of racism in 1930's America. Most of the story is depressing. The ending has a touch of hope.
