5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!

A great story and one that continues to establish Ms. Taylor as an accurate historian and storyteller for this era. Her characters are well-developed, sometimes complex, but all with qualities that everyone can identify with. I highly recommend her books, especially for children or adults who are not familiar with this era in African-American history.

I had been looking for this book for many many years. Now I finally found it! I read this story when I was a child and it touched my heart deeply. Based on a true story, a must read! This is a series. Thank you to the sender for sending the book in a timely manner!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Well
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010

The Well is a book that works into lesson plans for Black History month very easily.

The author of the book helps elementary age students understand the racial tension that reached its tenacles far beyond the Civil War and made the Civil Rights Movement in our nation a necessity.

I would encourage every teacher to have a classroom set of this book to use to help explain that hatred and racism can be overcome. It may take years, but each small victory is simply a rung in the ladder to success.

Read it, I think you'll agree.

Nice story but too short. Wasn't worth me paying $9 for less than 100 pages. It was more a story within a story that was rushed to end..

My son has read this book twice already and he is typically not one to pull out a book to read. I remember reading books by this author when I was a child. Very good stories.
