My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book has been on my pile to read from past issues that I’d just not gotten around to. I heard all the hype, I read all the hype.
Ok it was made into a film but I still read other books needing my attention, why!?!
I gasped, I got angry, I cried and had a lump in my throat many many times.
Wiping a tear from my eye I Plowright on.
I have no time for racists.
I have no time for bullies.
I have no time for inequality.
We know the past history and yet.......lt still goes on.
Police!
Yes.
Even with the Police.
The colour of your skin doesn’t define who you are. Your heart does.
It’s shocking. But this 16 year old girl stood up. Starr by name Starr by nature.
This was a hard hitting novel.
Straight between the eyes.
We teach the next generation.
Oops this has turned into a lecture not a review.
I loved this book, it’s trueness and it’s honesty.
