Book Reviews of Leon's Story (Sunburst Books)

Book Review: A good book to let you know how blacks were treated.
Summary: 5 Stars

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't born? In this book a boy named Leon tells you how blacks were treated back then. One part in the story Leon was at work for his "owner" and the owner brings his dogs out and lets them get Leon! Leon jumps on the car's roof and prays and out of know where a white person comes out and says "If you dont realease that boy then I will shoot the dogs." That time Leon got saved. There are so many other exciting, scary, and sad parts of this book! This was one of the best books that I have read about blacks and whites when they are not rejoiced!
