Fire from the Rock by Sharon M. Draper
4.0
Well done! I've had a class set in my room since my first year of teaching and finally read it.
Draper has a great way with words and incorporating engaging drama while simultaneously stirring up deeper thinking and empathy. I don't know why it took me until the end to connect this story to the Little Rock Nine, but this was an amazing telling of the process of desegregation of schools.
