Braun, Eric

As one of the first books about this shooting and the activism that resulted from it, this would be a useful addition to large middle grade nonfiction collections, or to libraries whose tween readers seek out books on current events. However, most libraries would be better served directing their patrons to the speeches and essays of the activists themselves.

While not trying to be comprehensive, each title sensitively and honestly lays out the history, background, and recent events in its respective movement. Recommended.

A well-packaged series that only scratches the surface. Consider for collections in need of mythology-lite.

This series isn't an underdog, it's a heavily favored winner.
