Sarah Margru Kinson is a great book by my teacher Monica Edinger. The African language in this book is different than the English language that we all know. I like this language because it is different. The language in this book is Mende. Here are some numbers in Mende “One — e-ta_two — fe-le_three — sau-wa_four — na-ni_five — do-lu_six — we-ta_seven — waw-fe-la_eight — wai-ya-gba_nine — ta-u_ten — Pu “. It is very hard for Sarah at first to understand these white strangers’ language but she managed to learn it.

There is also some great literary writing like, “What are those strange people who look like ghosts?”

This is a very good book so when it is published you should definitely read it.
