This is MJ Munoz, aspiring author. I have another episode of Forteress Fiction coming out April 5th.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:11,600
If you'd like to get comments in on it, you got to get them to me by April 4th, 2024 for the book,

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,160
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred D. Taylor. This is the blurb for it.

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,920
In the Depression-era South, the Logan family fights racism and injustice.

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,920
And I think there's going to be a lot of a juicy discussion about this book. I think there's been

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,680
some controversy about this book because of some of the language used and some of the things that

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,760
it depicts, especially with this being middle grade, with it being a book for children.

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:38,960
Some people are worried about children being exposed to certain things, and I think it's a

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,760
worthwhile thing to discuss. I think it's a worthwhile thing to have a book be about. So

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,520
anyway, I'm going to be reading the book, and for the very first time, I'm going to be talking to

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:01:00,800
you about my thoughts on it, and I would love to hear your thoughts about it. Until then, keep reading.
