A review by radmusikitty
In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord

4.0

I read this book to see if it would make a good literature circle for my historical fiction unit in my class, and I was not expecting to like it nearly as much as I did. It has such a powerful message about the opportunities people have in America that weren't always possible, and I found it especially topical given the current political climate. I'm looking forward to seeing if it affects my students as much as it affected me.
