Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry Audiobook

" Would be a good read for an adolescent. The storyline deals with themes that are too complex for young children to understand. Overall a powerful and moving story that details the struggles of the Logan family and their circle. "

" I really enjoyed this book but the ending was not to my satisfaction. It is appropriate for the young reader that it is intended for but I was hoping for something a little more dynamic. "

" Very deserving of its Newbery medal. Have just ordered a copy for my class library. "

" I read this during break, and I found it to be a powerful and moving story. "

" I read this a few months ago but never marked it. It was okay. "

" I teach 7th grade, and my students read it every year. Such an excellent book! "

" Want to teach this to my 7th graders. Opens your eyes about how life was like even 70 years after slavery was abolished. I teach in small town MN where there is no diversity. Cassie Logan's experiences could help my students open their eyes about racism. "

" I loved this book when I was a kid! "

" I was so emotional while reading this book :'( but it was AMAZING! "

" Students really enjoyed this book! "

" I can easily see why it's a Newbery book. It was a very catching read. I felt as if I could see the things happening without having to have them so deeply described. The flow through the year was very good and well told from the perspective of a child. "

" Know any Young adults? a great read for them AND older readers. "

" Just finished reading Roll of Thunder with my students. It was an excellent read and a great history lesson on the struggles of African Americans during The Great Depression in Mississippi. I especially enjoyed getting the perspective from a young girl's eyes and thoughts. "

" This is a wonderful children's book that captures the days of racial segregation below the cotton curtain in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." "

" GREAT BOOK! It really shows how white people treated black back then. I don't like how they treat them, but this is a REALLY good book. "

" We did this book in literature and to be honest i didn't much care for it. As southern american novels go this is onw of the lowest for me. If you have a choice dont read it. But that's just me ;/ "

" I've always loved this book. First encountered it in the 4th grade and have read it at least twice since then. Highly recommended.<br/><br/>I just learned something thanks to goodreads - apparently this is the 4th book in a series of 6. I thought it was the 1st in a trilogy. Crazy. "

" Great book! This book attests to the strength of the human spirit. A must read to help young people understand the history of African Americans in this country. Eloquently written with great descriptions. Winner of multiple awards including the Newberry in 1977. "

" This was assigned reading for my children in 5th or 6th grade. I read it along with them and loved how well the time was portrayed. Wonderful book. "

" This was a pretty good book. I think students would like it. This could also be used in a history class. "
