My latest book's review. The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine. For 8 up to 12 year-old children. It's a really good reading!

Little Rock, Arkansas, 1958. Marlee is a shy and introverted twelve- year-old. She loves maths and prime numbers, but she finds it really hard to talk to anyone except for her family.

One day, a new girl arrives at her school. Her name is Liz and it seems to be the friend that Judy was hoping that Marlee would find.

Things continue improving in Marlee's life till the day Liz, suddenly, disappears from school, apparently without any reason.

In the meantime Little Rock's high school is being kept closed by the local governor to protest against the new Integration Laws and to avoid white students from mixing with Negroes.

This is not properly a book. It's my ESL activity 'Guess Who?!?' I've just published it on Amazon. It's readable anyway ;o) I think it could be considered a book of riddles. It's useful to learn vocabulary!
