An insight into the African American experience in the U.S., this novel takes a tragic event and spins it into an inspirational message; speaking up and fighting for justice.

Read this to help me decide to put it in my 6th grade library. I really enjoyed the book and the characters, but I felt the language and themes would not fly for 6th graders in my more conservative school district. Still, I liked it so much I’ll keep it and hopefully lend it to some older students.
