To Kill A Mockingbird, Freedom’s Children, So Far From the Bamboo Grove
Many good ones.
To Kill A Mockingbird is a story about this young girl named Scout growing up in Maycomb, Alabama. There is this mysterious house, where there is said to be a psychopath family that lives inside. They have neighbors to deal with, and problems with her dad, Atticus who is defending a Negro, you will get so involved in the story.
Freedom’s Children is a favorite. I am actually not fully done with the book, but I love it. I like reading about the Martin Luther King Jr. era. One of my biggest pet peeves is racism, and even though there is much of it in this book, it shows how colored people stand up for their rights, and is told from the very people themselves! You even get to see a picture of the storytellers. Some examples of people in the book are: Thelma Eubanks, Ernest Greene, Frances Foster, and many more.
So Far From the Bamboo Grove is about the war in Korea. It tells about the story of a little girl who has to travel to another place in hard times. Her house gets robbed, and many other bad things happen. It is just her mother, her sister, and herself.
They are all must-reads. Really Epic. Not 100000 page novels, but within the 300 pages or so of the books, could very well be that many pages.
