Right now in my book, they family is in an apartment, and the people that took them there bring them food and movies for them to eat and watch. They only have 2 rooms, and they aren't really having a good time. They all always cry, and just want to go back home. But they know that just because they are black, they get treated and judged horribly.

I'm almost half way through my book, and it's pretty good so far. But it's at a boring part right now, so hopefully something big and interesting happens soon. It's actually better than I thought it would be, and I'm glad that I chose this book, because all of the other books seemed boring. I'm learning that even if something happened to another black family, other black families were hurt too. And people think that just because they are black, that they are bad people and the kids are in gangs and stuff.

So far, this girl has moved to a new apartment with her family, and she had a really hard time leaving all of her friends at home. They left, because (her father is a cop) 2 other cops had shot a black kid, and the black kid hadn't even done anything wrong. And this family is black, and they got pretty offended that some cops that her father had been close with so long had shot a black kid. Also, they had other people take them to there new home, and they didn't tell them where they were going, or where they were. So, that effects their feelings, and wondering if they will have to move homes again. They are having a hard time, because they really don't know what's going on at all, and they don't know where they are. If I was them, I will have a hard time too, because not knowing where I was or what was going on would scare me, and I would probably want to go back home.

So far, my book is about a girl named Evie who has just moved from Colorado. It says she lives in an apartment now with her dad, mom, and sister, Cameron. She hates living in the city- it didn't say where in the city- because she has no friends. It's actually pretty good so far, but I hope it gets even more interesting. And that is all the further I have gotten.

I chose the book Hush because it seemed pretty interesting. It doesn't really have a description on the back or anything about what the book is about, but they have peoples' quotes on what they said about the book. And it's all really good stuff that they are saying, so it should be good. The title is: Hush. The author is: Jacqueline Woodson.
