Reviews
"Miller focuses his story on the stirring final chapters of Wright's autobiography Black Boy (1945), in which he describes his struggle to get books from the whites-only library in Memphis. Christie's powerful impressionistic paintings in acrylic and colored pencil show the harsh racism in the Jim Crow South. . . There are also strong portraits of Wright reading avidly through the night, lost in the world of books." -- Booklist "An episode from the autobiography of Richard Wright is skillfully fictionalized, resulting in a suspenseful and gratifying story about the power of reading. . . A challenging endeavor, and an accomplished one." -- Kirkus Reviews "This fictionalized version of an incident of the life of the African American author is a moving account of a scene recounted in Richard Wright's autobiography, Black Boy. Written simply and powerfully, and accompanied by quiet but emotionally charged illustrations, this book makes the story of a young black man's struggle for the right to read in a southern city during the early decades of this century easily accessible for young readers." -- Book Links "In 1920s Memphis, the young man who would become a great American writer could not borrow books from the whites-only library. Ultimately, Wright forged his own passage to Dickens and Tolstoy: Miller's transcendent account of this moment is memorable indeed." -- Smithsonian Magazine " Richard Wright and the Library Card is the perfect book for teachers, librarians, and even parents to read to their children and discuss the wonderful opportunities that come with having a library card... I love historical fiction, and this book did not leave me disappointed. Mr. Miller tells Richard's story in such a way that it is enjoyable and entertaining for children. As I read it, I found myself feeling sorry for Richard; no one should be deprived of the joy of reading, especially when it is a great personal desire... This book is well written and would open up a lot of great discussion in the classroom and at home." -- Write for a Reader Outstanding Title - Parent Council, Ltd., "This fictionalized version of an incident of the life of the African American author is a moving account of a scene recounted in Richard Wright's autobiography, Black Boy.
