Review Detail

            Cassie and her family go through many challenges to save their land and keep their family close. They must survive the treatment that the whites give them, and survive the fact that they get splashed every day by the white bus and walk the rest of the way covered in mud. They Finally got tired of it and tried to get revenge. They must use poor books that whites had used and the condition had slowly dropped from new to very poor. There are many events that could just doom them.

            I thought that this book was pretty good, but it was confusing. It was confusing because it just kept switching characters and there were just so many. Every time it introduced a new character, it was really only in dialogue. I could connect to it in many ways, but I thought that some of the events were long and took up too much space in the book. The book was interesting and pulled me in so that I felt like I was a character in it.
