The Girl with the Louding Voice
One of the things I love about this book is the voice. It’s so distinct that you really feel as if you’re talking with the heroine — that she’s a real, live, breathing person.

Jurassic Park
Movie tech needed time to grow to more adequately capture the awe and wonder and terror of the book.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
I first read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry when I was about 11 or 12 years old. It’s the book that introduced me to racism, and it deals with this tricky topic so…. humanely. It’s clear and sharp and true - but also compassionate. Get Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D.
