<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Jordan is a wizard at capturing vernacular in both conventional forms and his own invention. --<em>Black Issues Book Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 1936, teenager MacNolia Cox became the first African American finalist in the National Spelling Bee Competition. Supposedly prevented from winning, the precocious child who dreamed of becoming a doctor was changed irrevocably. Her story, told in a poignant nonlinear narrative, illustrates the power of a pivotal moment in a life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jordan combines the tragic poignancy of the blues with the cinematic sweep of a documentary in his deeply human and highly imaginative second book."<br>
