I found this book as part of a project I did for a class last semester. I went to Barnes and Noble looking for a different book (Freedom Summer, written by Deborah Wiles, which is excellent and I highly recommend it) but when it wasn't available in the store, I had to improvise and found this one instead. Sit-In describes the large-scale boycott of certain lunch counters during the Civil Rights Movement. One of my favorite things about this book, even though it's pretty trivial, is the unique style of illustrations. Another extremely valuable aspect of this book is the two-page factual timeline of events in the Civil Rights Movement, which is a great supplement to the historical fiction feel of the story itself.
