This book is written in the form of a diary. Though This book shows you thing though the eyes of any African American. This book is about the Negro Leagues. It tell about the times where Baseball was still considered a White man's game.

Around this time in 1948, Baseball was starting to ingrates with African American. It was when Jackie Robinson was brought to place for the Major Leagues though though out the book. People were still think that there were still a few segregated seating in ballparks. They were still signs for blacks and White signs stating around.

Though this does change though you understand what it like at that time along with baseball changing and other things about american history. You do learn about the different thing though Ameican History and good for young children and adult to understand and learn about that time. ( )

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. Reading level: 5.8 ( )
