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

Hello!Out Of The Dust is a book my class read.As soon as you start to read you pretty much know the time in history,and that they are poor.Through out this book the little girl named Billie Joe goes through physical and mental hardships.Like her mother and her get burnt,and her mother dies with and along side her brother. This book does have weaknesses like not describing all the characters.It did not describe the mother good,and hardly described the brother.But to me it is a very good book.It has a lot of strengths and a lot of sadness. I do recomend this book to others,and enjoy reading Out Of The Dust.
