| Cassie is dealing with the horrors of racism. She is a black nine-year-old who doesn't quite understand why the horrible white people in her town are so mean to the blacks. She is soon told about the night men, the men who go around to different houses and burn them down. This is a riveting story about a girl and her family during the times when blacks were just beginning to be able to speak up for what they think is right. | ||
