Scholastic Chasing King's Killer

Author James Swanson has previously written books on Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy for young people and now has written a timely account on the life and assassination of the Reverend Martin Luther King. Yes, the book was written for youngsters but I as an adult found the book to be riveting reading as well. If you have a youngster interested in American history then I, as a retired elementary school teacher, would highly recommend this book for you. I believe it would be sure to hold his or her interest. Thank you, Mr. Swanson, for writing these books for young minds to read.

Good book for 6th graders and up. Very good historical information. Story explains a lot about the assassination of MLK.

OMG so many facts surrounding the assassination of Dr. King. Written for a broad range of ages and an easy read. GET IT!!

This book walked me through the great deeds done by Dr.King. It has pictures/photographs from the actual days when those chain of events occurred. It helped me understand the significance and the contribution of Dr.King in the civil rights movement in America. The events leading to and after the demise of Dr.King is tragic indeed.

Great book that's well-written. If you're looking for good, basic info about King's assassination, this is the book for you.
