Board of Education, few know the story of Sylvia Mendez, an eight-year-old girl of Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage, who played a major role in the desegregation of public schools in California. This picture-book-style nonfiction selection has an important, and interesting, historical story to tell. Recommended for readers ages 6 and up.
