I just couldn't get into this book as much as I would have liked. I do like baseball, so I think that helped, but I probably wouldn't read this book again. Was it worth the read? I think so, but I was just left wanting more...in a bad way. I would still recommend it to people though. 3.5 out of 5 stars. The Journal of Biddy Owens is a children's chapter book that is formatted as a series of journal entries authored by Biddy Owens, the Birmingham Black Baron's baseball team manager. The tale is particularly impressive for it's ability to convey the atmosphere of racial hate and oppression that surrounds the main character and is a part of his daily life. The book is effective because it doesn't set out to explain segregation, it just describes the Biddy's daily life and includes moments where Biddy is sharply reminded of the racial hate of the era. It hits me harder because I fall into Biddy's world as I read and I'm not expecting it, just as Biddy doesn't really expect it either (at least, not at first). I would use this as a mentor text within a social studies unit on racial segregation and oppression in the late 1940s. It might be a good option for a literature circle, particularly for students who are emerging readers. The atmosphere of the book conveys the impact of segregation in a relatable way.
