Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry boxed set Mildred D Taylor 9780147743473 Books Reviews

The problem with a historical fiction book based on first-hand accounts is that the reader never knows what's true and what isn't. The general depiction of segregation in the Depression era South is accurate, but some specifics are questionable for instance, Mr. Morrison's parents being from "bred stock." The author, a member of the Black Power movement, clearly had an agenda, and we can't be sure that she wasn't about to let the facts stand in the way of a good story. Thus we are reluctant to recommend the book when there are others, written as non-fiction, which don't require the reader to guess which parts are true and which are totally made up. Books like Black Boy and Black Like Me come to mind. Or I might mention the Jean Fritz books, with a section in the back carefully giving the historical basis for claims made in the text.

There are also some weaknesses in the plot. First of all, Cassie never accounts for how her grandfather, a former slave, was able to buy 200 acres on credit, nor how he was able to get credit to buy another 200 acres a few years later. Also, it's a bit hard to believe that a smart girl like Cassie could reach the age of nine without realizing what segregation was all about. It may be for the benefit of the reader to have it spelled out for her, but Cassie would have long since known.
Suggestion- read "The Land" before reading this one. There are many books in the Logan family series, and I believe this is number 5. They are wonderfully written books that I and my 4th grader fell in love with.
After only one application I noticed a great difference. My teeth are whiter. I love my new smile.
I remember when I was first introduced to these books by my 6th grade teacher. I have loved reading every since and I always remembered these books. Now that I am grown, I have ordered and read (again) all of this lady's book and I must say I wish every child would read them (and adults). They are good books to read to learn of family, being strong and how the world was(and still is in a lot of ways) toward black people. Thank u Mrs. Taylor for sharing your fathers stories. Your books made me absolutely love reading.
my daughter enjoyed this set of books
she is now 25 year old I gave them to her for her birthday. what a surprise it was for her because she saw the movie as a child on a beta tape and enjoyed it.
I read these books in 7th grade and when I ran across it again I had to get it. I definitely recommend it to all ages as a realistic 1st hand experience of life in the south during the sharecropping days.
