I am not a big reader of nonfiction, but I loved this book. Aimed at young teens, but terrific for adults as well. Stories from the civil rights movement are poignant enough, but add in the disregard with which Claudette was treated and it a very difficult story to deal with. The difficulty is worth it to enjoy the final chapter when she returns to her high school to speak and to see the success of this book. National Book Award winner
