Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor

4.0

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense

---

Powerful novel of Jim Crow Mississippi through a child’s eyes. The Logan family is unforgettable and real (based on the authors own). Racial prejudice, discrimination and violence is a cancer eating at America, an evil that must be faced. Stories like this put a human face on the problems and move our hearts to work for change.
