A review by libscote
Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker Rhodes

4.0

I have been wanting to read this book for a while, since I first saw its cover on the Allen County Public Library Mock Newbery blog. I'm surprised that it isn't on more Mock lists. It wasn't quite as good as I was expecting, although I can't put my finger on exactly what is missing. It probably is the best book I've read that's been published this year, however.
