This is a really good book! It is placed a little while after slavery had been abolished, but African Americans are still mistreated. It is about the Logans, an African American family who farms cotton. It is narrated by Cassie, the second-to oldest child. This book really talks about how African Americans lived in that time, and I really learned a lot of history from it. And to find out what happens, read the book!
A blog for reviewing YA, children's, classics and whatever I feel like.

Saffy's Angel
Author: Hillary McKay
Review Writer: Book Girl
This is a really good book! It is about this girl called Saffron, but people call her Saffy. She is beginning to have suspicions about being adopted because her brothers and sisters are all named after paints (their parents are painters) and she isn't. And to find out what happens, read the book!
