Nellie must move. She and her family must go because things in the south for people of color are getting bad. Like her Uncle Pace who fought in war. There were no seats in the colored car on the train, so he sat in “white territory”. He was beaten and killed just for that.
Nellie is a interesting, articulate kid. It is so cool to see through this amazing kid’s eyes. not only is she an amazing kid she has an amazing story too.
This story really has a lot of emotion. It shows what Nellie feels and just through her journal you know everything that’s going on. I would recommend this book because something in it has a place in everyone’s heart. I give this book ⅘ stars.
