An easy quick book that all middle school kids should read.

Good historical fiction gives you a time and a place and makes it not only interesting but gives you the character's perspective, one that isn't us looking back with all of our fancy hindsight. Otherwise, it tends to be a history lesson. This is the latter, which might be more interesting for teens that don't know much about school integration, but wasn't particularly interesting to me.

This book takes the reader back in time to Little Rock during the time right before school integrations. The story is told by Sylvia Faye, a young girl who is selected to join the group of students who will eventually become the Little Rock Nine. The story is a fascinating look at an important time in history.
