Kelly R said: My sixth grader absolutely loved these graphic novels about John Lewis and his role in the civil rights movement. They are especially powerful books for middle schoolers, as the format makes the history very real (I found myself sucked in as well). Be aware that there is violence and graphic language in the books...we kept an open dialogue about this as he was reading them, and it led to some good conversations.
