Ninth Ward

The title of this book is Ninth Ward and author is Jewell Parker Rhodes including Bayou Magic and Towers Falling. The book is about Lanesha and Mama Ya-Ya. Lanesha’s mom died when she gave birth. Lanesha grow up without mother.

Lanesha lived with mama ya-ya after her mother died. There was some ghost in mama ya-ya house and Lanesha talked to them. TaShon was classmate of Lanesha. He has a dog named Spot.


I did like the book because it was an emotional book. The book was written for people of all ages. Both men and women should read this book. You should read this book because it shows how hard to live without a family.

Ninth Ward

I read Ninth Ward, by Jewell Parkes. She has also written the nest. Ninth Ward is similar, In these books, she talks about the importance of the family. Ninth Ward is about respecting of the people no matter.

In this book she think about her parents. She’s waiting for the day her friend. The important character are the other, Jewell Parks Rhodes, Romeo and Juliet . The important conflict is between Jewell the nerra for, and her friend Mama Ya ya.

They do not set clans the there of the book is silver and her skin reminds her of a walnut, all wrinkly brow. One significant internal conflict is Jewell Parks has problems with herself about allow Jewell Parks her family. One significant external conflict is when Jewell park talk with her friend Mama Ya ya and tried to keep away of her family.
