Cracking the Wall: The Struggles of the Little Rock Nine

48 pp. January, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-87614-990-5
(3) K-3 On My Own Books series. This careful treatment of the historic integration of Little Rock Central High School provides a glimpse into the struggle to desegregate schools in the South. The writing creates just enough tension to allow readers to feel the danger the nine students faced while simply exercising their rights. Illustrations on every page support the story, and an author's note, afterword, and time line are included.
