Books

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers."



-Charles W. Eliot (1834-1926)

Feathers by: Jacqueline Woodson

I read this book for my school's book club since we were reading books that won the Newberry Medal. I thought that is was pretty good with some confusing concepts. This is probably because most of the book is about religon but I don't know much about religon. It centers around a girl who is black and goes to an all black school in the 1970s. One day, a white boy is new in class. He claims that he is Jesus. The story revolves around the girl and how her thoughts and beliefs change when "Jesus" arrives.
I do not really care for this book but I would vote it for 3 out of 5 stars. People who like stories about religon and life would enjoy this book.
