Quick Summary: Colorful, engaging, and filled with great content
My Review:
Across the Tracks: Remembering Greenwood, Black Wall Street, and the Tulsa Race Massacre by Alverne Ball was a colorful and engaging read. I appreciate that it was in the format of a graphic novel. Because it is written in that style, I think that it will be even more appealing to young readers. The layout and the lettering were simple to follow. The tidbits of historical content were informative and expansive. Other features that I particularly loved included the timeline and the author commentary. This would be a wonderful classroom resource. I believe it is a great introductory level read.
Rating: 4/5
