Review:
"The story is taut and terrible, and the account ofJohnny trapped in a bleak, hostile city will holdteens fast." -- "ALA Booklist""Striking characters, vivid dialogue, dramatic descriptions, and enduring themes introduce a new generation of readers to Wright's powerful voice." -- "School Library Journal"
About the Author:
Richard Wright won international renown for his powerful and visceral depiction of the black experience. He stands today alongside such African-American luminaries as Zora Neale Hurston, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison, and two of his books, Native Son and Black Boy, are required reading in high schools and colleges across the nation. He died in 1960.
