Hello Everyone:
Since we just discussed Mildred Taylor's Logan family books about an African American family and the deeply disturbing racial discrimination issues that her books raise and we are now discussing Cynthia Voigt's Tillerman series in which serious racial discrimination issues are also raised, I wonder how readers of both sagas (especially The Runner and Come A Stranger in the Tillerman series) would compare them in their depiction of this particular topic?
