This book takes about the most famous of the Freedom Rides which occurred over 12 days in May and included the even on Mother's Day which result in the burning of one of the buses outside Anniston, Alabama. This book starts out well with a history of events leading up to the ride. Each day has an entry with what happened during that day and is accompanied by photographs. The book ends with events after the Freedom Ride and a brief biography of the 13 participants. This was well done and informative especially for middle grade readers just getting an introduction to the topic.
