Review: I came across this book in the library last December when I was searching for a book to do a book review on for a holiday assignment. I could definitely not put down this book. The story line was so grasping and touching. It made me feel that people are not being treated fairly around the world whether it is in the 1930s or 2012. Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry was definitely inspiring. It was unique and will be an eye opener for many. The author was very expressive an elaborate. I learnt that there is a prequel to this book called ' Song Of The Trees' and 'The Land'. The sequel is called ' Let the circle be unbroken'.
