This book is nonfiction and contains a first-hand account of a time/moment in and around 1957 in Little Rock, Arkansas. The author was one of the Little Rock Nine - 9 black high school students chosen to begin integration at Little Rock's Central High School. The politics surrounding the events described in this book, as well as obviously the events themselves and how they unfolded, are significant to the history of the United States, but also the history of social civil rights and justice for humans both in the US and worldwide. I highly recommend :) (less)

Because the book is a narrative about real-life experiences of someone living through segregation, the book contains the n-word. Additionally, there is violence and a sexual assault. The book covers some extremely ugly and shocking behaviors and may also be difficult for young and sensitive readers to navigate. That said, it's an incredible read.(less)
