Sarny

This is a great story. All children especially those who do not like to read should appreciate this book. Kids especially of African descent just don't realize it was once against the law to know how to read and count. Now. education is wide open and yet there are many of our children who don't take advantage of good educatiion. It starts at home with parents. Build the foundation early on so our children can be ready for tomorrow. Again, I love it. Finish it in one day.

Gary Paulsen is a wonderful writer. We found an excerpt of this story in "The Reading Detective 6th - 12th" edition. Which lead to the first book, "Nightjohn" by the same author which also lead us to the movie by the same name. The events are real and compelling.

Great book. I would read it on my work breaks. Not too long and kept me entertained the entire time.

it was nice to have a sequel to the story "Night john". However,the storyline for Nightjohn was very plausible while the storyline for Sarny was a little too contrived. The characters and interaction was well done and the societal observations were realistic. It was a good read as a sequel and gave my students closure which was missing at the end of Nightjohn.

This work is excellent to use for Black History Month. It is easy to ready and understand. As a teacher you can use it to demonstrate the language that was spoken during that period of time and the hardships slaves had to endure. Great story for young people to read and easy to understand.

A great book for middle to high school. The story is written in a style that grabs you. The characters are very well developed.

Excellent, I started reading and couldn't put it down. Amazing ,wish there was a movie to this book

VERY WELL WRITTEN, GOOD STORY, A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR 5TH GRADE, MIDDLE SCHOOL WOULD BE PERFECT.

This is a lovely book for children. My kids and I loved reading through. It is written so beautifully. However the quality of paper used is terrible.

Must read for any American or Canadian kid.
