March 4 - Kindred By Octavia E. Butler

       Dana finds herself in 1815, which is definitely not normal. She saves a young boy from drowning, then goes back to 1976. She was in 1815 for at least a few minutes, but only away from her time for 10-15 seconds. How strange. And then it happens again.

       I've thoroughly enjoyed Kindred, though some parts have been intense and sad. It is a book about both slavery and time travel, which is an interesting combination. The author did an excellent job with descriptions, plot, and characters. I am always interested in segregation and racism, so I've especially enjoyed this book.I would definitely recommend Kindred to people in middle school or older who like historical fiction.
