On the Heavy Medal blog there is a mock Newbery vote. I have been trying to read their 10 books even if we don't have them in the library yet. This is one of the nominees. This book is a history of African Americans in the U.S. The narrator has a strong voice and follows his ancestors throughout U.S history highlighting the contributions and struggles of African Americans. I found the book to be very informative and accurate without being bitter. I will be ordering it for next year.
