Fire from the Rock by Sharon M. Draper
3.0
Fire from the Rock was definitely and interesting book. It was required reading for my Social Studies class, so I probably wouldn't have picked it up if I wasn't forced to.
So, first of all, I was a little surprised that this was a school book since there was some minor romance and kissing. Not that I minded, since I love romance. It was cute romance, although Sylvie's boyfriend was a little too passionate about topics such as integration. I couldn't decide whether I liked his character or not until the very end(I went with, "He's okay.").
I also felt that this book was like a window to the past. It made many references to many famous events that happened during these times. I wish that the book continued and that one character would've come back. There was a guy named Jim in a scene at the library and I really liked his character. I also really liked Rachel's character. Maybe the author should write a sequel from her point of view.
Fire from the Rock was an okay book, if a little dramatic at times.
