Claudette Colvin

This seems to be a great YA non-Fiction title to me. It is very vivid and easy to read but addresses the importance of the actions of Colvin very well. The author makes the young Colvin come to life by describing her and her surroundings to the tee. By adding the actual commentary from the elderly Colvin adds to the experience as if one was with her. I think this title would be a great addition to the a middle school library. It may be a little to easy for high school students. The use of pictures and the little informational boxes, I think, would help keep the attention of younger adults.
