Biography: general; Autobiography: general; Black & Asian studies

In 1847, a five-year-old African American girl named Sarah Roberts was forced to walk past five white schools to attend the poor and densely crowded all-black Abiel Smith School on Boston's Beacon Hill. Incensed that his daughter had been turned away at each white school, her father, Benjamin, sued the city of Boston on her behalf. The historic case that followed set the stage for over a century of struggle, culminating in 1954 with the unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

Reviews for Sarah's Long Walk: The Free Blacks of Boston and How Their Struggle for Equality Changed America

Starred Review, Booklist, June 1, 2008: Unconventionality is Horvath's stock and trade, but here the high quirkiness quotient rests easily against Jane's inner story with its honest, childlike core. Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2008: [A] witty, wise and wonderful novel. Review, Parenting Magazine, September 2008: [T]his tale's full of sweetly memorable moments. Starred Review, School Library Journal, September 2008: This is Horvath's most luminescent, beautifully written novel yet. Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, August 25, 2008: [T]his quietly captivating novel marks a new course for National Book Award-winner Horvath. From the Hardcover edition.
