Mostly, I loved seeing the experiences of the Malone's, an African American family affected by the devastation of the Great Depression, through the

Absolutely amazing! I love the writing to it and everything. I feel really bad for the main character because she has go face many struggles in life and sometimes she can't fix them, but it gets really good and has a great ending to it. I LOVE this book!

I absolutely loved the characters in this book, especially Deza. Curtis is a master at depicting the intimacies of family life. I enjoyed the way the Malone family interacted so much that I wished I could become one of them. All the characters in the book were interesting, even the not-so-nice ones. Father was a complicated character. He loved his family but at the same time seemed uncertain that they would love him back. If he really loved and trusted them to accept him no matter what, he would

This book has many good, some intense themes. It made a great read-aloud and we could discuss things as they came up.
