The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine

4.0

I acutally liked this book a lot more than I thought I would. I found the character developement believable and the struggle amongst the character plausible. Marlee is a 13 year old girl with typical teen angst about her relationships to her peers, family, and friends. She is almost dibilitatingly shy but overcomes her shyness with the help of her ne friend Liz. There is tension galore as their friendship develops amongst the backdrop of the civil rights movement of the 1960's. This book would be excellent in a teen or tween book discussion group.
