Powerful collaboration between Lynda Blackmon Lowery's first person narrative, the two writers and the excellent illustrator. Love the combination, the simple storytelling, the context. She has a way of communicating emotion that is both plainspoken and compassionate. She was beaten severely on Bloody Sunday and talks about the murders that surrounded the march, which I think is why it's aimed at 12 . (

A first-person account of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March as seen through the eyes of a brave 15-year-old determined to make a difference.

Great middle grade first-hand account of what it was like to participate in the Civil Rights Movement, and the audio is simply fantastic. (

This book is exactly what the reader would expect and more. This book outlines the life of Lynda Blackmon Lowery by her own voice. Though it is written by others, Lynda Blackmon Lowery tells her story to the writers. This book is not only historical and informative, it allows for the reader to open their heart and mind from the events that occurred years ago. It is understandable for a middle grades child and would allow for wonderful information to be taught and knowledge to be gained. (

I enjoyed this memoir of the marches in Selma very much. It doesn't give much background information, so you'll need to get that elsewhere, but it's powerful to read her story. The artwork is a nice blend of art and historical photographs. It's a much shorter story than it appears, so it would work well as a read aloud in a classroom. (

As the youngest marcher in the 1965 voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Albama, Lynda Blackmon Lowery proved that young adults can be heroes.
