The Lions of Little Rock

1.5/5

Slow reading, and I think a book meant for twelve-year-olds could've alluded to the slur instead of actually using it. Which is the problem, isn't it? POV swap, please.

Historical fiction - set in Little Rock, Arkansas as they were beginning to integrate their schools. A page-turner. Can't wait to recommend this one to students next year, or work in in to my curriculum somehow. :)

really good story about the part of history BEFORE (the lost week of school) the really well known part of history (the little rock 9 going to school). great discussions for sure!
