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 :)
