My book is called ''To Be A Slave '', by julius Lester.
This book is about people talking about what happened in slavery days,  and how hard it was to be a slave.
I really liked this book because it taught me a lesson. The lesson I learned was not to ask for more than what is given to you,because we have it good theese days. People in slavery days  didn't even have half of the good things we have today,and they didn't even complain about it.They didn't have the good clothes that we have today. They didn't even  have shoes at all,they didn't have an education which meant they coudn't read or write. In fact more than half of them didn't even know their names.
I would recommend this book to my little cousin because she is an only chid and is spoiled so she gets what she wants when she wants it.
that book was wonderful and I raelly enjoyed it and i hope my little cousin does to.
