Friendship makes us better. Why can’t the change I want to see happen start with me? Everyone is more than what they appear to be at first glance. I want all my adult friends to read this excellent book so we can talk about it.

My family recently listened to the audio version of this book (very well read BTW) on our way to visit Little Rock, AR on vacation. This story was great and captured the attention of everyone in the car - grade-schoolers through adult! I…

I was assigned this book for school and I thought it was just a boring civil rights book, but after I read it twice I'd give it 5 stars. Really good book. Pretty much what read_freak said

When I first picked up this book I thought it was going to be about love and other stuff...but as soon as I finished the book I picked it up again and read it over again,and again. This deserves a 10 star rate!

I personally think that this is a 5 star rate. I ended up getting a grain of rice on at dinner. It can't pull you away.

This book is awesome! It is mostly about a girl named Marlee who at first was the shy girl at school who barely talked but now she talks frequently like you and me. This story takes place in the 1900 when segregation took place. Marlee…
