The author recollects growing up in a Jewish family with a father who was a key civil rights lawyer, involved with historic cases such as Brown v. Education and working with no less than Thurgood Marshall. The cover describes the book as a novel but the sometimes newscast-like prose and footnotes makes it feel more like a textbook at times. Non-fiction or novel, non-fiction or novel? The shifting of perspective from Duvy to Dorothy to Martin Luther King to others and back again gave the book a somewhat disjointed feel. The promise of this package didn't quite live up to my expectations. ( ) Review borrowed from mikitchenlady (my alter ego): Excellent account of the events leading up to and the people involved in the Selma-Montgomery voting rights march, in a semi-fictionalized account. Written by the son of civil rights lawyer, Jack Greenberg, this is a great middle school book to help students understand this important period in our history. Readable, not too long, poignant -- a middle school must-have.
