Katherine,
A heart-wrenching story of an upright man who is accused, tried, and found guilty for a crime he didn't commit。 Readers connect with Mr Hinton early on peeking into snippets of his life。 His faith, family, and friends serve as his rock that guide him through these tribulations and sees him through to eventual justice。 Where some might be bitter and angry, Mr Hinton turns this into a teaching opportunity that forgiveness and not forgetting is the way to improve our justice system。 Whereas the ori A heart-wrenching story of an upright man who is accused, tried, and found guilty for a crime he didn't commit。 Readers connect with Mr Hinton early on peeking into snippets of his life。 His faith, family, and friends serve as his rock that guide him through these tribulations and sees him through to eventual justice。 Where some might be bitter and angry, Mr Hinton turns this into a teaching opportunity that forgiveness and not forgetting is the way to improve our justice system。 Whereas the original is written in the first person, this edition is written in the third person with choice quotes from the original。 A powerful read that gives powerful insights into the Civil Rights movement and the stubborn stain of racial bias that continues to mar our great nation。 。。。more
Anne Marie,
I didn’t read the young readers edition, but I couldn’t find another edition to select。 But this book was amazing。 Even if I knew how it would end…

Recently, my middle school literacy teachers worked to update their lit curriculum to incorporate windows and doors (Bishop) to others lives。 They decided to pair To Kill a Mockingbird with the YA version of Just Mercy and I look forward to suggesting this one too, to help students understand the lasting effects of injustice and what freedom truly means。
