Dec. 10th. What's the best book you've ever read, and why was it so awesome?

There are a couple of books actually, and I probably talked about them before

1 Starman's Son by Andre Norton. It shocked me and thrilled me to my wee roxy core to read a book that featured a Black character who was not comic relief or needed to be guided and coddled.

2. Black Majesty by John W. Vandercook. It's not a very good book but to me as kid raised in a world where Black folks were mainly depicted as cooks and maids, it was amazing to read about a Black man who was a king.

I imagine that kids today can't begin to understand what that felt like. The world is different now and we take a lot for granted but back then, these books helped a little kid realize that heroes could be anyone.
