mb (USA: MI) (2012/04/02): I thought this was a pretty good book. Features some violence so be aware of that, very educational though. YA novels are great stuff. I recently visited the brown vs. board of education historical site (run by the nps) in Topeka, KS. I'd recommend a visit for any kid 8+ (though all ages are admitted of course). Very interesting history, it's amazing how inhumane humans were (and are) at times.
