Racial bias story for young readers J. Grambo I'm a big fan of Mildred Taylor, but this one was not as strong as her others. The characterization was thin, so you never really cared what happened. I think it is written this way to make the segregation story available to younger students. This one would be fine for 3rd or 4th grade. If you want Mildred Taylor at her best, try a 7th-8th grade book, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. For 9th grade and older, y. "great book" according to C. E. Jacobs. I suggest to get your child all of mildred d taylors collection she was good at catching the hate and rasism that went on in the south and other parts of the united states. these books are very real the smaller readers such as this book is good for your 5-6th graders and the novels are perfect for your 7-8th graders!!. Another winner by Mildred D. Taylor This is another beautifully written book. It is well worth reading.
