Tatiana J. L. Ms. Roy was HW Teacher for 6th grade / entering 7th grade Date: 6/26/10 Name of Book: Hush Author of Book: Jacqueline Woodson

This book was about:

A young girl named Toswiah who had to move and change her identity because everybody in town would be shooting at their windows because the white town people did not like her father. Toswiah's father was a cop and he had to testify against two white cops that killed a black kid. The two white cops thought that the kid had a weapon but Toswiah's father saw his arms up in the air and knew that the child did not have a weapon!

I especially liked:

It took time for Toswiah to adapt to her new school and new identity so I especially like when she made new friends.

My personal recommendation for this book:

Read it so you can learn about racial issues.
