Title: Gone with the Wind for Children
Product review: The Secret Road is comparable to Gone with the Wind for children ages 10 and up, and just as racist. Come on Robert Nordan, whoever you are, this is 2001! Mildly suspenseful, the tale is trite and rife with paternalism and benevolence. The word nigger is more offensive now than it has ever been. Don't use it and site historical context as an excuse. Since this is the author's first book for children, for the sake of young people everywhere, I hope it will be his last.
