    I'm Back with a new review{Joshua Basaldua}

    I loved to see how everything changes for the family, but in the end they still stay together. It was an eye-opener to all the suffering that African-American people went through even long after slavery was ablolished, and to see it all through a young girl's eyes had fought everything she had been through. Knowing this event happened, it was a hard and rude to them.

    This was such a good book! I loved to see how everything changes for the family, but in the end they still stay together. It was an eye-opener to all the suffering that African-American people went through even long after slavery was ablolished, and to see it all through a young girl's eyes made it good too. No matter how old you are you should read this book!

    Best book ever

    this book was an amazing book and inspired me to research more about black history. Nellie is an amazing girl and survives all the bands and differences surrounding her. It is a must read.

    This book was really good!

    I liked being able to read about what her life was like, and comparing what my life is like with what her's was like. I learned about being treated different because of your skin color, and how that is bad. Nellie died the year I was born, and it's hard to believe that people experienced these things not that long ago.

    ' The Great Black Girls Living Down South'

    This book is more than outstanding. I would give this book ten stars and more if I only could. This book tells how black people were mistreated in the South and mostly everywhere they went. When they moved to the North they had better oppurtunities. They could actually have a life. I think this is not only a book for kids, but it is also a book for all people of all color. That is how I rate this book!!!!
