Book Reviews of Sounder
Book Review: 4 Stars for Sounder
Summary: 4 Stars
"Sounder raced after the wagon. No one yelled after him. The mother stood still in the doorway. The deputy who wasn't holding the reins turned on the seat, aimed his shot gun at the dog jumping at the side of the wagon and fired." This moment changes the life of a young, African-American boy and his feelings toward others. He undergoes the hardship of racism toward him and the family. The boy is determined to find his dad, who had been arrested because of stealing a ham for the family. He also continues to look for Sounder, the dog who had been shot and ran away. Then his luck changes. I give this book four stars because the subject matter did not catch my attension but still is a great story told from the eye of a African-American boy who didn't give up.
