Little Rock Nine (Turning Points)

Description

There are moments in every country's history when decisions are made and actions are taken that will change the course of that country's future. Turning Points historical graphic novels bring these moments in American history to life.

Sixteen-year-old William McNally and fifteen-year-old Thomas Johnson both live in Little Rock, Arkansas, in the summer of 1957. They both love baseball and teasing their little sisters. There's just one big difference -- William is white, and Thomas, the son of William's family's maid, is black. After the Supreme Court rules in favor of desegregating public schools, Little Rock Central High School prepares to enroll its first nine African-American students, and William and Thomas are caught in the center of a storm.

Summary: "'Is it the color of my skin or the content of my character...'"

'The Little Rock Nine' is a story that never seems to lose it's luster. It is a tale of nine courageous youngsters that are brave enough to tackle racism. The story centers around one of the nine named Thomas Johnson and his friendship with William McNally.

Sounds simple enough, but Thomas' mother is the McNally's maid. Thomas and Williams share similar hobbies and enjoy their friendship, without focusing on society's view. Until the Supreme Court order Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas to become segregated and Thomas is one of the nine that will be attending the school. Under the harsh glare of society and their peers, we'll find out how true their friendship is.

The Little Rock Nine was presented in a different light with the focus off of the nine and specifically one and his story. I didn't really like the style, with it being like a comic. Misleading, marketed more toward teens in my opinion. A decent read though.

Summary: "Got this to share history with my 9 year old..."

While I was a little taken aback by the comic-book format, apparently that really appealed to my 9 year old. The night I handed it to her, she read it enthralled. It then opened up discussion about the actual events at Little Rock High, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and 1960's, and the current state of race relations in the U.S. With the presidential race heating up (and reminding me a little of the 50's and 60's again), this was a perfect time to get this book.

"If we don't learn from our history, we are destined to repeat it." This book is a great opportunity to help our children learn from our history. I highly recommend it for children up to about 12 years old, and for parents to discuss it with their children as well.

Summary: "so so take on desegregation history"

I wanted to like the graphic novel treatment of Central High's desegregation because I like the idea of turning historical events into approachable material for reluctant readers. But I didn't feel like this work did the historical figures justice. The beginning is slow to start and the characters seem two dimensional; however, the work gains steam and hits its stride midway through the episode. I had to force myself to keep reading, but the second half of the work is very well done. In the end, it just doesn't compare to the autobiographies written by Daisy Bates and the Little Rock Nine. There's nothing more powerful than learning about what happened through the voices of those involved.

Summary: "A Nice Way to Read About History"

I'm not much into graphic novels, but I do enjoy reading about historic events. Although there is some strong language used, it is not used gratuitously and really helped to draw me into the atmosphere of the story. All in all, I rather enjoyed it.

This may not be something that your average adult would enjoy reading, but I would certainly make a case for young kids, maybe 10 and older, being assigned this as a short history reading project.

Summary: "A Little Rock Nine Review"

This book grabbed and held my attention from the first couple of pages. It's a very informative way for kids to learn about history. I was a bit skeptical at first knowing that it was fiction thrown into history and wasn't sure how factual the book would be. I thought it worked out well with a good combination of facts and fiction that still held true to the situation. It's a quick read book and using comic pictures also held my attention. I'm not one for wanting to read a bunch (or even a few as in this matter) of swear words in a book, although I am quite aware heated tempers at this time in history couldn't leave them out, however, for a kids book and as the authors did keep quite a few of them as "dang" or "heck", seems like it could've happened all the way through the book. Otherwise, this is a pretty decent, attention holding book with fiction and history well mixed.
