The Friendship and The Gold Cadillac
I read the book The Friendship and the Gold Cadillac. It is a great book! It is about black and white (race.)Also how people should be treated. When I read this book it gave me some feelings.The book is sort of a short book.It also made me want to keep on reading it. I think you would enjoy it alot!
