Title: The Reality of The Matter
Product review: This book is an unsettling depiction of what life was like for African Americans in the south. It is unimaginable to us today that these travesties actually happened, but this story is so detailed that you can almost see it happening. When the kids are walking to school and the bus for the white school is coming down the road, you can see the faces on the bus laughing and making fun of Cassie and her brothers. You can see the dust rise up and settle on their clean clothes. You will feel the pain and the confusion that Cassie expresses throughout the book.This book will pull you in and you will feel like you are seeing it unravel first hand. The author does a magnificent job getting your attention and keeping it up until the last moment. Just when you think you know what is going to happen, you find out you are wrong. You will laugh and you will cry, but it is definitely worth the time.
