With the Might of Angels (Dear America) - by Andrea Davis Pinkney (Paperback)

With the Might of Angels is a moving fictional account of school desegregation in small-town Virginia during the 1950s, told through the eyes of twelve-year-old Dawnie Rae Johnson.

This powerful and insightful book follows Dawnie as she faces the harsh realities of racism and the backlash against her arrival at Prettyman Coburn, the previously all-white school she is forced to attend.

Despite the challenges she faces, Dawnie remains faithful to her own sense of integrity and holds on to the true meaning of justice.

With the Might of Angels is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about an important period in American history and the brave individuals who fought for integration.
