The Awakening of Malcolm X is an impactful and reflective historical fiction book that I think did an amazing job of exploring the (fictionalized) thoughts and transformation of Malcolm X during his years in prison. The writing in this book is especially moving and perfectly conveys the full range of emotions, from the atrocities of prison to the spiritual awakening. I also loved the Malcolm X quotes at the start of each chapter, which I think really tied the specific chapters to Malcolm X's later work. This book is certainly sure to leave readers of all ages inspired, curious and eager to further explore Malcolm X's work! I highly recommend this one!
