review 1: Thought it was a fine overview of the situation. Loved how many pictures were included with the text.That said, I would have preferred the story to be organized a little differently (more information about the other eight Nine earlier, a more linear approach in general). Additional information about ongoing issues regarding civil rights and schools would also be helpful--there's a sentence near the end that references the fact that many inner-city schools are in bad shape, but I think an entire chapter should be devoted to that subject. Readers growing up in other contexts might not be familiar with the issues inner-city students face (I wasn't when I was in the target audience for this book) and could benefit from that information.
review 2: After reading L... moreions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine, I had to read The Little Rock Girl 1957. The book is not too long and included captioned photographs on every page of the events during the conflict. The book also includes information about the current lives of the Little Rock 9 as well as some of the reporters and the segregationists. The pictures alone are worth the reading but the text is so informative as well. Must read for every one. less
