review 1: I have difficulty with graphic novels that aren't depicted in a very organized manner. The illustrations are well-done and vivid, but the frames mix together; they aren't defined and clearly sequenced. That's my weakness, not the book's, but if it's your weakness too, then this will be a difficult book to jump right into. Beyond the presentation, it's a good story that is certainly worth sharing. The underlying themes are important and could lead to some wonderful conversations in classrooms, Texas or elsewhere.
review 2: This graphic novel told a moving story about two families, one white, one black during the civil rights movement. It's well drawn and well told, but it didn't pull me in the same way some others have. I think the newspaper hues and sketched qu... moreality of the illustrations reminded me of the news which makes sense, but it was less of a story to me and more like a new story. I'll have to reflect more upon why this one wasn't as exciting for me. less
