Hmmm...Chapter 3- I have to glance back and see which one that was... I guess the main standouts in this chapter were Antwone's standing up to not go to church- that was very brave considering the circumstances. Also his great teacher that did so much for him. It's driving me nuts that he wouldn't open his mouth and tell someone what was going on at home! And why couldn't Brother or someone help him?! Grrr! I liked that he began to standing up for himself a bit more- the adolesence thing and the bathing in Clorox was awful. And with nasty Willanda- and offerning to help him learn to bathe. Argh! It's frustrating that this poor boy went through all this and just slid through the cracks. I would love to say that this is a great book, but it's basis in reality makes me feel like I can't say that cause the situation is so awful. I think it's great that he has been able to write this book, and it is a really great book- just such a sad story...

I hope that teacher knows who she is, or that her own children know.. how fortunate that he was able to stay with that same teacher for three years!
