A searing ending to a moving and haunting story. Read as a young girl, and I think more people should be exposed to this novel.
I was ten or eleven when I read this and still remember the part where she has to do the white girl's hair for the first time.
I read this as a companion to The Help for a task in my quarterly book challenge that asked us to read and adult book and a children's (but not YA) book on the same topic and compare which handled it better. I was stumped but someone else in the group used this comparison so I totally copied it! Though they are not quite the same topic - this book deals with slaves in the 1800's and The Help is about African-American household employees in the 1960's, but I did see some parallels in their situations. Overall, this book was just OK. I'm not sure why I thought that, I just didn't really get in to it.
