The Window

I loved the book. I thought that it is a very good book for teenagers to read and especially foster kids because that is what it deals with.

WOW

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL THAT GOES EVERY WHERE TO FINED A HOME UNTILL SHE GOES BACK TO HER MOM.

An Excellent Book!

Although I was a bit old to read this book, it was still an eye opener. This book explores many issues such as abuse, both mental and physical, and racially mixed familes. I thought this book was really touching and you will fall in love with Rayona's father's family. It's definitly worth reading.

This book will touch your heart.

Michael Dorris has created a character with Rayona that we can all relate to and love. This book was funny and touching and sad - a definite must-read for young adults and not-so-young adults!

Simple , Fun and Intelligent

I really like this book a great deal . The author did a great job in expressing the thoughts of young Rayona. This book really got to me and its one of those feel good books witch you would like to read during the lonely but happy times. Micheal Dorris is a good author and the story of the "Window" is simple enough to be fun but at that same time intelligent.
