Sarah Margru Kinson

I just read a book about Sarah Margru Kinson. My very own teacher, Monica Edinger wrote it. It is about a girl who had to leave Africa to go to America for slavery. She went through pretty tough times. When she was on the Amistad, when they gave her food, she thought they were going to eat her!!!! I thought that was a little strange personally. But, I can’t change what she thought. Sarah also had Kagne and Teme. {Two other girls from Africa.} I thought it was great, except I had some questions. Where are her parents??? Especially her father. I truly would want to know where my father is. Did he die? I really want to know. There are also very large words, like this long v word I don’t even know how to pronounce. I think it should be more like a children’s book, not like an adult’s book. And, it’s also like Cinderella. Mr. Tappan was the fairy-god mother. The reason that Mr. Tappan is the fairy-god is because he helped her very much. Other than those questions, I loved it.

  1. kd,

    Thanks for this from-the-heart response to my book. I thought you had some great questions that I will certainly consider as I revise it this summer. But you do learn about her father at the end, remember? Not about her mother,though. I’d love to find out something about her. Cool the way Mr. Tappan is sort of fairy godfather-like.
