Customer Reviews

5 Stars

I gave this book five stars because it gave a pretty good description of what I learned in history. And the way you did from a white girl and a white boys point of view. Also the way you did a white boys point of view too. This is actullaly one of the only descrimination books that I actually enjoyed. That is my book review, and how I rate this book.

The girl on the outside

Two girls named Eva collins and Sophia Stuarts tell how they feel as the experience the time where the first southern school intergrates. Sophia is a white girl who is mostly against blacks intergrating but part of her agrees with it. Eva on the other hand is one of the blacks who is intergrating and she is a little afraid. Join in with their struggles as they go through this historical event that really happened. Some of this will shock you that these bad things actually happened in this country!

The Girl on the Outside

If the ratings were one- ten I would give this book a ten. this book was great. This book showed how racism took place in the 1950s. This is one of the best books I've read. I couldn't put it down!

Great Book!

I recently did a presentation for english on this book and I loved it! I think that it is amaizingly informational about the time period when intergration was starting to take effect. Summary: Two teenage girls different colors going to the same school and trying to fight hatred.

It's a great book for almost all ages.

I really liked this book because it taught me more things than i already know about that time. I also like it because it showed both points of view from each of the girls. I like how the author put great detail into the story.
