My latest Choice read book

After finishing the Junction Boys, I had a hard time choosing which book I wanted to read next.

 I took about a week spending one day with each book I was considering. The book I ultimatly

decided appon was Warriors Don't Cry. 

So far Warrior Don't Cry is about a little girl named Melba Patillo Beals. Melba was born on December 7, 1941, in Little Rock, Arkansas, on the same day that Japanese troops bombed the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. After a terrible infection which Melba barely survived, she went too live with her parents and her grandma. Both her parents and her grandma are good people who love her, in addition they are well educated with her mother obtaining a masters degree. 

Throughtout the early stages of the book, the reader follows Melba through her daily life which consists of school, chores, and segragation. A main discussion amoung the adults is the invisible line of what is acceptible for a black person to do to fight against the segragation, and what is over the limits. This line is clearly shown in the scene where Melba and her family get over charged at the grocers. After doing the math to figure out how much they had been charged extra, Melba's dad, a big man who worked on the railroad, go to confront the store owner. The store owner shouts at Melba's dad who instantly backs down knowing that he had gone to far. After that incident, Melba returns to school where they ask for any volunteers who wish to be part of the integreation of the All white highschool. Melba, not realizing the consequences of her actions, signs her name on the list of about 10 kids.

So far this book has kept my attention steadily with a good plot and interesting cast of characters. I hope that the rest of the book will be as good and I also look forward to the next choice read.
