Nicole's review
Cross-X by Joe Miller
This book was like reliving my senior year of debate through the eyes of a poor African-American student. An in-depth look at the debate system from someone who experienced the circuit with a group of kids who had experiences that were both similar and light-years away from what I experienced. Being back in the world of cross-x and counter plans and squirrely cases was so much fun, I have to admit. The fact that the story is placed in the same year and using cases/characters that I recognized made it that much more fun. The perspective through the black students' eyes, though, was quite awakening for me.
