(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Leonard Jenkins. Focusing on the dramatic turning points in his subject's life and using direct quotes from the man himself, Myers's spare and eloquent narrative makes the complexities of Malcolm X's story accessible without compromising its integrity. The book has appeal for reluctant teen readers as well as younger readers. The sophisticated paintings blend realism with abstraction to heighten the underlying emotional drama of scenes.
