Her reward is her dream come true. Black John has managed outwit the death that was intended for him by the rest of us coven back in colonial days by tying his spirit to a crystal skull (ooooh). His spirit has returned repeatedly to the community over the years to cause mischief. In fact, all of the members of the coven into which Cassie is initiated in the first book were conceived at roughly the same time in 1976 when Black John nearly managed to break free and return to life. Many of the parents died trying to banish him, and the ones that did not are living in shame and denial for not having the courage to join up with the ones who fought Black John I think this book involves a very interesting action in which i could recond for the people that like a story of love and danger, i think this book contains alot of interesting themes with cassie the protagonist and how she whants to stay with adam.

This book talks about many realistic themes like racism and religion. It´s about a black boy that is involved in a criminal act and is condemned to death by the method of an electrical chair. The teacher of the town try to help him to learn his last lesson or memory before he dies. The protagonist of this book is the teacher who´s name is Mr.Wiggins, the antagonist is Mw.Wiggins aunt calledTantelou. The setting happens in Bayonne, and some internal setting like the Rainbow Club, the jail, and the church. The main conflict in the story is that the black boy commit a criminal act and he do not want to know more about life or his family, he also have an internal conflict in which he says that he is a "hog".
I liked one part of the story, that was when we can connect to the book with some similar things in owr life. I could relate things to reality like racism, religion and education. I thought that it was interesting because the book was descriptive with the characters. But also in the diary of Jefferson he had manygrammar errors so that part was not really good.I would recommend this book from middle school to high school students, that loves realistics novels.
