It's Awesome

This book was very good. It was a tragic story about a young girl's life in Mississppi in the 1920's. She moved to Chicago and all kinds of things happened to her family. This is a great book and we liked it! You should read it! BFFL SV & AN

A good glimpse at history.

This was a wonderful story for students in the fifth grade. We used this novel to link music class, art class, history, and reading. The story painted such a vivid picture for the students. The author, Dorothy Hoobler, beautifully took us on a tour of the 1920's.

Okay but not as good as the other HER STORY books.

This book was okay but not nearly as good as Priscilla Foster, Sally Bradford, and Julie Meyer. It wasn't as exciting or as interesting. If you read the other books you might like this one. But it's only allright. It could be much better.
