Well-written and explained for a younger audience. This is one I wish I had read as a young child, as it would’ve highlighted true American history for me long before I encountered those truths as an adult. You’ll find yourself rooting for the characters of the Logan family as you read. This book explains and analyzes difficult topics with grace, humility, and compassion.

 This book has all the emotions. I was sad, angry, amused, hopeful, encouraged, defeated, and more throughout reading it. It's another great example of a book that teaches historical empathy and the importance of human dignity. I read it with my 6th grader so we could discuss it as there are definitely some issues that need discussing such as the use of the n-word by racist southerners.
