Inspiring!
I didn't know what to expect when I picked this book to read for a YA literature class but I loved it! It's a story of an African American man trying to live out his dreams in the 1800s. If you're passionate in the arts or humanities you will love and greatly appreciate Myers' last great work! Read more
