I gave this book 4.5 stars because I like the adventures they go on and it owns Black history. I like the part where Jimmy sings at the baseball game. I like the part when the Big Fight happens, too. A very, very good read!

This was wonderful book. My class of grade 5 did it as a book report and I could find out about and understand the struggle of African Americans during the great depression and why they suffered a great quantity of it. I recommend this to…

This is the best book I have ever read. Deza is so strong and brave it's amazing. I could not put this book down, and I would read it over and over again.

The Mighty Miss Malone was a very interesting book. My favourite part of the book was when Deza and her Mother found their father and brought him home. I really enjoyed this part because you finally know that the Malone family was going to…

this book was very good. I liked Deza Malone because she seemed like a real girl unlike how in some stories you just can't relate to the characters. I didn't like Jimmie's story because it just seemed too unreal. one thing I would change…

I liked how this book took me through all the events in the life of Deza Malone. She's a smart and responsible girl who's always grateful for what she has. Though there were some times where things were tough on her and her whole family,…
