reviewed on + 201 more book reviews


A short (99 p.)children's historical novel about the Civil Rights restaurant sit-ins of the 1950s. This one is set in Nashville, Tennessee. Patricia McKissack has specialized in writing children's books about Black History, and all her books are good reading, true to the period.
