This is my absolute favorite book from childhood. I read it in third grade, and again and again after that and I have never forgotten it.
Powerful messages about rising above the injustices in life and the importance of family.
The second book in the series, "Let the Circle Be Unbroken", is excellent as well.

I read this book as an adolescent and never forgot it. A coming of age novel that deals very effectively with the complex issue of racism and prejudice.

This book exposes you to what Mississippi was back then. I enjoyed reading this book. It was a required book in my 6th grade class and I'm glad it was. I've read this book a couple times and I greatly enjoyed it. After reading this book, Mildred D. Taylor became one of my favorite author's and I picked up The Land(which is the prequel). It as well is a wonderful book. I highly recommend this book.

This is a good book for every child to read no matter what their race. It is both interesting and very thought provoking.
