LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

I read this book along with "Ludell" and "Ludell and Willie go to New York". I will never forget these books. They were awesome!!!

A wonderful read

As a teenager, I was unable to find many contemporary novels about African-Americans. "Ludell and Willie," and its prequel "Ludell" were both wonderful novels about the ordinary joys and struggles of black teenagers in America. I love these books. They are prized treasures in my personal library.

Great

I first read this book at the age of 11. Ludell & Willie is a young adult love story that you will love forever. Ludell lives with her strict grandmother who hardly ever give her and Willie time along. Willie is the star athlete, so Ludell is alway worried that another girl will take him away since she's can't go out on dates, but Willie alway prove his love. I'm trying to find the sequal for this one, but it's a hard to find book.

I think that this book is a great book about children.

I think this book was a great example of what children go through in life. It tells not only the bad things about growing up it also shows some of the problems that young adults face during the first years adolescents.
