Okay, it is a little longer, but I would make this a MUST purchase for any teacher or school library. Heck, I think everybody could benefit from this book, as I was captivated by its true stories of young people in America who made a difference. Do you know about the 16-year-old girl who fought in the Revolutionary War posing as a male? Or the high school junior who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Alabama, nine months BEFORE Rosa Parks? I assure you, this book hooked me and never let go.
