pickThis touching story follows a young African American girl named Ruth who travels with her family during the segregated 1950s. The book highlights the importance of the Green Book, which listed safe places for Black travelers. Ramsey's narrative emphasizes resilience and the fight against racism. It's a powerful glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history.
so-soCharacters felt realistic. I loved especially the beginning of the book where a main character was grieving for loosing her close one. That was relatable.
The beginning was scarier than the rest of the book and that might have also made the beginning better.
This felt a bit repetitive: the same pattern happened several times. The last part was a bit luch.

so-soI read this one for the IRL Book Club I host at a local Cafe (our meeting was tonight). My favourite part was the wonderful discussion we had 🤷♀️ There were the makings of a really good book here, but it was severely underdeveloped. I loved Jake's storyline, but everything else felt emotionally lacking and frustratingly off the mark.
“Votes for women! The road might be long, but their hearts were strong.“ This shows the dedication the women had.
I would use this book in my classroom to discuss women's rights.
pickThis is a historical fiction book published in 2016. Mara Rockliff shares the true story of Alice Burke and Nell Richardson as they journey across the United States in an attempt to persuade the public that women should have the right to vote.
Great book.
