And We Rise by Erica Martin

Thank you to Penguin Teen for providing me with an arc!
A really informative and interesting way of showcasing the Civil Rights movement. A very read and I think it’s a good introduction to the Civil Rights movement, with more information than you’ll typically get from school and a good refresher on its events! It’s also pretty short and all of the poems flow together so you can certainly read the collection in one sitting.
My biggest thing that ultimately had me giving the novel a 4 instead of a 5 is that it took me a bit to get the beat of the poems, I finally got it around 50%-ish, but I think that might be because the formatting on my ARC was a little odd at times.
