The author doesn't flinch from the brutal reality of the racist white folks in the area. My heart was racing at one point, I was so worried about the safety of the Logans. The white people were so awful. It's a shame how much that hasn't changed in 90 years.
This is a middle grade book that a person of any age would benefit from reading. I listened to the audio, and I thought Lynne Thigpen did a marvelous job of narrating.
