Jacqueline+Woodson

__If You Come Softly__ My favorite book of Jacqueline Woodson is __If You Come Softly__. This romance novel is about two young students, Jeremiah and Elisha, both attending Percy Academy who fall in love with each other. There's only one problem, Jeremiah is black and the Elisha is white. Jeremiah is the son of a movie star and an author. Elisha is a regular Manhattan girl who lives with her family. Elisha is not too fond of her mother, knowing that her mother left her family twice already. In the book, Jeremiah and Elisha are a happy couple and cares for each other deeply despite the fact that their society doesn't like their interracial relationship.

__Behind You__ __ Behind You __ is a wonderful book. The book is part two to the book __If You Come Softly__. In the book Jeremiah Roselind is shot by cops because they mistaken him for a wanted man. All the people who loved Jeremiah have to find a way to move on. Now his mother Nelia Roselind can not sometimes even remember her own name and she was once a great writer. His dad Norman Roselind can’t look at a picture of his son and start crying. His girlfriend Ellie just doesn’t know how to move on. His best friend Carlton still doesn’t believe that his best friend died. Kennedy his other friend is also having a hard time moving on. It seems that no one can move on, but somehow they help each other out. They also get some help from Jeremiah. The thing I like about the book is that it gives you a lot of advice. That is what I love most about Jacqueline’s books. Her books give you advice about real problems you face in life. For example in the book __Behind You__, Jacqueline gives you advice on how to get over a lost one. In the book __If You Come Softly__ she tells you some problems you have to face being an interracial couple. I think that in general Jacqueline Woodson writes some good books. I think that this book was one her good books.

__Hush__ __Hush__ is a good book. Toswiah was only twelve, when her and her older sister Cameron has to leave the place they’ve always known, change their identities and leave no trace of their past life. Toswiah becomes Evie. Her sister becomes Anna. In the new city, they have to reinvent themselves and figure out how to move on when just about everything they ever loved is behind them. They face a lot of challenges trying to adjust to there new lives. The thing I like most about this book is that it puts you into someone else shoes. For example in the book she tells you what it is like to be in witness protection. She shows you what it would feel and be the person you’re reading about. This is a good book, but I don’t really think that it’s one of her best books.
