It makes you feel like you have to keep on reading and reading. If you like to have a good time when reading, I would read this book. I recommend this book if you like interesting and exciting books. I would like it if I could go back to 1914 and get those people arrested and put in jail where they are supposed to be. I think that Uncle Messe should not have been beaten up when he got off the train and that those people should have been arrested and gone to jail. I think that this story is just like regular life because people can get their life taken away and people can lose their voice. It is exciting because Jane lost her voice and Nellie did not know what was going on with Uncle Messe. My opinion of this book is that it is very exciting. Jane and Nellie decided to write back in forth because Jane lost her voice. It turned out that Nellie?s mom told her wrong. On the other hand, Nellie thought that he died from a sickness. Nellie?s sister Jane lost her voice right when Uncle Messe died because her mom told Jane what really happened to Uncle Messe. Her Uncle Messe died when he was on a train going to war and when he got off the train a bunch of white men beat him up and tied him to the train tracks to just die the rest of the way. Nellie wrote in it everyday until her Uncle Messe died. FormatHardcover LanguageEnglish PublisherScholastic, Incorporated Publication DateApr. This book is about the girl named Nellie Lee who lived in a cemetery home where her mom and dad worked. Newbery Honor- and Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Patricia McKissack brings readers the tumultuous experience of Nellie Lee Love, a young African-American girl who moves from the South to Chicago during the Great Migration of 1919.
