challenging dark emotional informative sad tense fast-paced

5.0

It's hard to write a review for the individual books in this series when I read them back to back to back lol but I can say that I especially liked this one because it remained the most focused on John Lewis and his life which were my personal favorite parts. It helped to remember that this was his story in addition to this bigger narrative of America's story and the Civil Rights Movement.

I absolutely think this book is how kids should start to learn about the Civil Rights Movement. It's not only easy to digest in graphic novels form, but it talks about aspects of the movement that I absolutely never learned about in school. I think the way I learned about it is such a disservice not only to the movement but to people like John who fought so hard for so long and did so much.

Good information, well told story, important read! Only thing I did not like was that some parts were a little slow while others were jumping in and out of the story. It was just disorienting sometimes! Overall, would recommend and I hope to read the next in the series!

adventurous challenging informative reflective fast-paced

3.0

• Medium read (6 - 8 hours for the series)
• A little confusing in terms of the timeline and characters. One must be very observant to follow the story.
• A wonderful way to learn the basics of the civil rights movement, and I loved the graphics.
