The Well by Mildred D. Taylor

4.0

Another excellent chapter of the Logan family saga. I liked this one because it gave more backstory into the life of Big Ma and Paul Edward, as well as the relationship the Logans had with the Simmses. That shed a lot of light on events in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. HOWEVER, because the main plot point is a very contentious conflict between a black family and a white family, the white family uses A LOT of racial slurs. I mean, yeah, it's supposed to make me uncomfortable because it's not okay to use, but like damn. Not totally sure I'll recommend this one to my kiddos. Also don't know if I can stop some of them -- they're really into this series this year.
