I echo the praise from other commentators here - incredibly powerful book, horrific portrayal of the 1950s Jim Crow South (the Nickel School is based on a real FL one called Dozier), a main character you won't forget, beautiful writing, and, yes, a surprise ending I didn't see coming at all and made me cry. If all that's not enough, Whitehead accomplishes all this in just over 200 pages!
