Historical Fiction
For me, the most memorable part of Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry was at the very end when TJ's life was on the line and the kids were rushing to find him help. Stacey knew that he couldn't save him on his own so he sent Cassie back home to bring the help of Momma and Papa. It's good to know when you can't do something on your because in the end you still do the right thing.]]> 2018-11-19 13:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/241233/qeicahq5qvwh/wish/305898469 241233 https://padlet.com/241233/qeicahq5qvwh/wish/305900718 Bridget Morrisey

No one else was in the house and no windows were open to let in a draft, so who closed the doors?
