I have a pretty big library. I have a whole section on Black History Month. I've read most of the books, but I have a few new ones. T
oday, I read most of One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. I loved it, loved it, loved it! It was heartbreaking to read the story of these 3 little girls. It is also incredibly well written. It's not a difficult read; however, the topics are a little mature for Upper Elementary. Amazon says it is good for ages 8-12. I would say it is better for Middle Schoolers due to the content. If you need a good, quick read for yourself...grab it! It was great.

I have been considering this book-- the cover keeps grabbing my attention. Your review convinced me! I am home today due to ice and bad weather and am reading A Tangle of Knots of by Graff.
I too agree it was appropriate for my sixth graders, but I will not be using it with my third graders.
