Mr. Touchdown wins first-place in 2006 Writers Notes Book Awards, young adult category
“With rich description and smooth dialogue, this can’t-put-down novel moves us to the heart of the high-pressure choices and explosive changes faced by Eddie Russell, his sister Lakeesha, and friends as they become the first black students to integrate all-white Forrest High in the autumn of 1965. It’s a balanced and vividly accurate portrayal of the violence, personal struggles, and inter-generational and community undercurrents of desegregation and non-violent movements for social justice of the 1950s and ‘60s.” 2006 Writers Notes Book Awards judging panel, Writers Notes Magazine (www.WritersNotes.com)
