A review by libscote
Revolution by Deborah Wiles

4.0

The book starts with 40 pages of quotes and pictures. I was a little daunted by that at first (did I forget "Countdown"?) but once I got past it, I was captivated by Sunny and Ray and Freedom Summer. I hope kids can get past those first 40 pages. They are great background information and really helped illuminate the story for me. It freshened my memory of what happened that summer, and provides context for anyone that might not have learned it yet. It also feels very timely, since the Voting Rights Act was just adjusted this year and race relations are still at the forefront of many people's thoughts right now. An excellent read.

It's not necessary to read "Countdown" to appreciate this book.
