Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-28 00:00:00 Marcus Hicks Heart and Soul was a very interesting and unique book. It wasn't told from a certain persons perspective but told from an "everywomen's" point of view. I thought this approach really added to the story because it was about African Americans and their stories before and during the Civil Rights Movement. This book was full of hope, inspiration and courage. All the stories were historical fiction, so the characters may not be real but the events all were. I also thought this book was interesting because it was told in picture book format but was 108 pages long. I had never really read a book like this and I really enjoyed it. It would be great to bring to a more mature classroom because some of the concepts are hard to understand from the Civil RIghts but this would a great way to teach them. This book is interesting and informative and would be great for the classroom when learning about this time. It makes the people in the stories look courages and hopeful and brings a different perspective to these times.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-05 00:00:00 Danny Dabbs I read Sally Mandel novels many years ago, and recently came across Heart and Soul. I loved the talented and flawed characters in this novel. Mandel has a quick wit that she weaves into serious events. So as I was fretting over the problems the character faced, I was caught offguard with the humor. I enjoy characters that can laugh and see the humor in their own imperfections. Bess was certainly one of those characters.
