<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Meyers' award-winning biography of Malcolm X--a Coretta Scott King Honor Book, an ALA Notable Children's Book and Best Book for Young Adults, and a Library of Congress Children's Book of the Year--is reissued as part of the Scholastic Focus publishing program. Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A classic and highly acclaimed biography of civil rights activist Malcolm X, ever more relevant for today's readers.</b><p></p><p>As a 14-year-old he was Malcolm Little, the president of his class and a top student. At 16 he was hustling tips at a Boston nightclub. In Harlem he was known as Detroit Red, a slick street operator. At 19 he was back in Boston, leading a gang of burglars. At 20 he was in prison.</p><p>It was in prison that Malcolm Little started the journey that would lead him to adopt the name Malcolm X, and there he developed his beliefs about what being black means in America: beliefs that shook America then, and still shake America today.</p><p>Few men in American history are as controversial or compelling as Malcolm X. In this Coretta Scott King Honor Book, Walter Dean Myers, winner of a Newbery Honor and four-time Coretta Scott King Award winner, portrays Malcolm X as prophet, dealer, convict, troublemaker, revolutionary, and voice of black militancy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Malcolm X: By Any Means Necessary</i>: </b><p></p>A Coretta Scott King Honor BookAn ALA Notable Children's BookAn ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA <i>Horn Book</i> Fanfare Honor List selectionA Library of Congress Children's Book of the Year<p></p>A fervent portrait. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><p></p>* Incisive, precise prose...
