Magoon imbued a sense of maturity in the narrative, one befitting the situation and the characters inhabiting the story. Although I probably could have done with a refresher on the first book, this narrative stands firm enough on its own feet, providing a window into the realities of life existing around the time of well known events but using them as pivot points. I think this book makes an excellent recommendation for the advanced middle grade reader and/or younger YA readers.

Strong story of a young girl deciding who she wants to be, within and without, and the consequences of making those decisions.

Much more didactic than the previous book in the series - but reveals a lot about the workings of the Black Panther party. Told from Maxie's point of view this time. I liked the first book better; there was more character tension and development in the relationship between the brothers and their dad and the different ways that they were trying to solve the segregation/inequality issues.
