Praise for The Journey of Little Charlie
A National Book Award Finalist
"This is a compelling and ugly story for middle-grade readers told with genuine care. Little Charlie is a product of his Southern upbringing, yet in Curtis's skillful hands he learns the world is not as he'd thought . . . Christopher Paul Curtis does it again." Historical Novel Society
"A characteristically lively and complex addition to the historical fiction of the era from Curtis." Kirkus Reviews
