I happily finished Feathers by: Jaqueline Woodson. This is told from he perspective of a nine year old girl named Frannie, there is no segregation at this time so it's happened after the 1970's.
This fantastic book is about this girl named Frannie (as i said) and shes African-American and she lives on one side of the highway where all the African-Americans live and the other side is where the Americans live. One day there was a new kid, he is American and he enters her school, as i quote from our book club, "You can actually feel the awkwardness". They start to call him "Jesus boy" . As i write an excerpt please enjoy!
"It's just all so surreal," Samantha said again. "You wake up one day and it's wintertime and there's snow falling. You wake up another day and there's a new boy in the class with wild hair, named Jesus."
As this delicious soup filled with carrots of romance, potatoes of change, and the noodles of Hope canned in this beautiful book!
Love,
