ALL YOU HAVE TO DO will be the next one up in Florida's Banned Book Contest!
This amazing YA historical fiction novel of silence vs resistance promises to ignite controversy into any classroom where it is allowed.
Kevin, from the 1960s and Colombia University, and Gibran, from the late 1990s
at private Lakeside Academy, deliver honest emotional portrayals of both young men's inner thoughts as they conflict with Black family and White school expectations.
Their on the scene actions deepen the 30 year separated plots as they reflect on what they conclude was right and what they totally wish they had done differently to affect the outcome of history. Dialogue is complex and engaging.
The impact of assassinations, the March on Washington, and the Million Man March offer widely divergent conclusions, both within the Black community and from the White people who are never counted as friends. Evern in Adrian's open class, there is not even one White student who gets it...?
Half-face drawings introduced by Gibran's powerful artist mother will be welcome to see in a final book.
Plot slowed with Mother not reading letter from her brother for 20 years...
As well, what happened to the one student who was arrested at the chain link fence?
(Enough with tired old "snap" and suck teeth and biting cuticles...)
