This books remains very relevant today, though I'm not sure Gabriel has seen it (unless he has been watching the news.) It should provoke some interesting discussions about race and segregation. And, this and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry should help to prepare him for To Kill and Mockingbird, which he will be reading this year.
Now I am about to start The Gap Into Ruin: This Day All Gods Die by Stephen R. Donaldson. This is (I'm pretty sure) the last book in the Gap series. I may have to set it aside for a bit, though, while preparing the next book I'll be reading with Gabriel this summer.
