Thanks for posting these! I loved Claudette Colvin and Mare's War. I need to read the rest of these books. I just got Rock and the River so I'm even more excited to read it. I haven't read Just Another hero yet, but I've read some of Sharon Draper's other books. I love Sharon Draper and I can't wait for Copper Sun to be discussed :)
So proud of our friends!
I am so excited for COPPER SUN discussions too, Ari. I was so emotional reading it. Can't wait to hear from Sharon!
Looking forward to reading all of these - woot!
