Caitlyn Adams writes the following about Out of the Dust (Newbery Medal Book) :

In out Of the Dust Billie Jo has alot of stress and frustration in her life because she thinks that she killed her mother and her baby brother.She wants to get out of the dust and go but she can't leave her father alone.She is happy at the end and loves her fathwer very much. In the book Out of the Dust there were some things I didn't like and some I did.I didn't like it when Louise tried to go near Ma's and Franklin's grave.Some things I did like were when Billie Jo and Pa started talking again.I also liked it when Ma told Billie Jo she could play at the palace. I really recommend this book to everyone because I enjoyed it and I think you will too.
