I loved this book so much i am not finished yet but i can tell that it will be great. And on question why did white people have slaves back than?…SO SAD!!!!

I loved this book! I think that they should teach more about slaves and what they had to do and they should use this book to teach it!
Maybe you could suggest that to your social studies teachers! — Kate Davie
It made me cry at the end, I never knew slavery lasted more than 100 years. I’m ashamed of what people did back then. WHY?!
Oh, and by the way, LOVED IT!!

I liked this book, it has a very depressing story.
I thank you should read it
So, since you think other people should read it, does that mean it’s a good story, even though it’s depressing? — Kate Davie
This book is really good, even though it looks bad it has a lot of detail and a really good point. Try it out before judging it
What is it about the way it looks that you don’t like? — Kate Davie
This book very well-written and the illustrations were feeling-filled and beautiful! The words and the pictures wove together to make an inspirational book.
