Racist character uses racist language. Sequel to Roll of Thunder.

Brutal story illustrating the realities of Mississippi under Jim Crow. I loved Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry as a child, and read a few of the sequels as well -- Cassie and her family are wonderful characters. This little book is confusing, because it looks like a short story for beginning readers, but I think kids will miss a lot of the context presented in the longer books. Desperately sad and defiant.
