Title: Night John
Review: Nightjohn by Gary PaulsenNightjohn is a book about a slave named Nightjohn. Nightjohn is very smart. He can read and write. He is sold to a new owner. There is a slave on the farm who wants to learn to read and write.This book is about Nightjohn's new life. He teaches a slave named Sarney how to read and write. This was dangerous because if he were caught, the slave owner would cut off either his toes or both his thumbs. After a while, Sarney got so excided about the fact that she could read and write that she wrote the words she knew in the dirt. The slave owner found Nightjohn teaching the slave how to read.Nightjohn got both toes chopped off with an ax. After that, Nightjohn took Sarney to a club he had started. There, Nightjohn continued to teach slaves how to read and write.I liked this book because of how Nightjohn teaches Sarney how to read and write. I think that this book was not so good because of the gruesome parts like when Nightjohn gets his toes cut off.
