**STARRED REVIEW** "Taylor has skillfully adapted her acclaimed 2020 adult title for teens into a smooth, readable volume that provides context for the rise of Black travel guides and the societal changes that Green and his wife, Alma, responded to. . .Meticulous research and lively anecdotes combine to provide a powerful volume of social history." * Kirkus Reviews *
**STARRED REVIEW** "Enhancing the impeccable writing is an attractive design with Green Book covers, images of the guide's sites, and other period photographs. . .An impressive insight into Black history that still resonates today." * Booklist *
**STARRED REVIEW** "Exceptionally supported with photographs, maps, newspaper articles, and other artifacts, this is a priceless addition for researchers and readers seeking to understand not just the complexities and insidiousness of centuries of systemic racism in America, but the drive and determination required to fight white supremacy." * School Library Journal *
A potent discussion starter regarding the current state of the 'open road' for Black travelers. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
