Summary: Francie
Comment: Francie
By: Karen English
The book I read was Francie. It is about a girl who lived in Noble, Alabama. She lives with her mom and brother, Prez. Her father lives in Chicago because he si trying to earn enough money to move there with his family and have a better life. Thought out the story Francie struggles with racism. She also goes to an all African-American school. Her family is fairly poor. At school she meets a boy who can not read. She teaches him to read. Then his father appears at school and tells him he needs to go home and work on the family farm. She is determined to find him. At the end of the story everything works out fine.
This book was a reality check for me because I didn't ever realize how much blacks were persecuted after they were freed. I had herd of the civil rights movement but never really thought that hard about how much they were hurt. No days I find my self hanging out with all African-American friends! This book has a good lesson to it! Never give up and just keep trying and trying. In the end you will receive many gifts!

Her family is also trying to move up north with Francie's father to get away from some of the prejudice peple where they live. This book showed me alot about frinndship, courage, and to always work herd to get what you want and nevr give up.

Summary: Bianca:Courageous Girl
Comment: Francie was a girl who belived she could do anything. Her teacher asked her to tutor a 16 year old who had never read before. When he is accused of attacking a white man, Francie jumps to his defence without knowing that she is putting her family in danger .
The author told the story in a way that could be easily understood. I'm not a big fan of historical fiction, so when I liked this book, I was really suprised.The book was written very well.
I would reccommend this book to someone who likes historical fiction. Not only is it historical fiction, it also has a little bit of action. Action, history what more could anyone want in a book.
