The girl That fell from the sky.

The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, is a book about a girl that is living with her grandmother after her mother dies. Her grandmother lives in an African American dominated neighborhood. Rachel has a African American dad and a white mom. She is faced with daily problems such as being a mixed race, and being the new girl. They are slowly telling you about her old life, and you are learning more about her past as the book goes on.

My favorite part of the book so far was when she told the readers about how her mother died. The way the author wrote it was really cool. She was narrating the boys life, and almost giving you an inside look on his life and his reaction when he saw the dead family. I think her writing technique was unique and creative. I would like to try this technique in one of my next writing pieces.

  1. This seems like a cool book. Almost like historical fiction, because it is talking about what it's like being a mixed race in that time period. The auothor's writing technique also sounds interesting. I am constantly on the lookout for any unique writing styles that will help me with my writing pieces. Maybe i'll check this book out.

  3. so i can see how the life for the main character really is now that i have a preview from the book. People differ with different matters in there life sometimes you can't take that form a person to make the change. They have to take matters into their own hands.constantly you talk about the time period which makes it interesting.
