Kathryn Stockett’s ‘The Help’ is the most amazing book I’ve ever read! Told through the perspectives of Skeeter Phelan, a college graduate finding her place in Jackson, Mississippi. Aibileen Clark, a colored maid overcoming the death of her son and Minny Jackson, another colored maid who’s cooking is as sassy as her tongue. These three women come together and break the law to expose cruelty in the town of Jackson and take down Hilly Holbrook. It is well written and so well described. I loved reading this book and I believe that loads of kids would love to read it to!
