Well written, and packed with information. I learned quite a bit, and our eldest grandson is sure to love it.

Lots of text, but I liked how it showed the way the same spot has changed dramatically over the years.

This book would be good for all grade levels. It could be used to start a history lesson on segregation. This book is about Sarah Roberts and how her wanting to attend a school that had the resources to educate her started a process that would eventually lead to the integration of schools.

In 1847, an African American girl named Sarah Roberts attended school in Boston. One day she was told she could never come back. She didn't belong. The Otis School was for white children only.
