{"product_id":"king-a-life-young-adult-edition","title":"King: A Life (Young Adult Edition)","description":"Hailed as “the most compelling account of [Martin Luther] King’s life in a generation” by the Washington Post, the Pulitzer Prize–winning bestseller is now adapted for young adults in this new standard biography of the most famous civil rights activist in American History.\n\nOften regarded as more of a myth and legend than man, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was many things throughout his storied life: student, activist, preacher, dreamer, father, husband. From his Atlanta childhood centered in the historically Black neighborhood of Sweet Auburn to his precipitous rise as a civil rights leader on the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery, Dr. King would go on to become one of the most recognizable, influential, and controversial persons of the twentieth century.\n\nIn this fast-paced and immersive adaptation of Jonathan Eig’s groundbreaking New York Times bestseller readers will meet a Dr. King like no other: a committed radical whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime, a minister wrestling with his human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government.\n\nThe inspiring young adult edition of King: A Life highlights the author’s never-before-seen research―including recently declassified FBI documents―while reaffirming and recontextualizing the lasting effects and implications of MLK’s work for the present day. Adapted by National Book Award–nominated authors Yohuru Williams and Michael G. Long, this biography for a new generation is a nuanced, unprecedented portrayal of a man who truly shook the world.\n\nAccolades and Praise for King: A Life:\n\nPulitzer Prize Winner\nA New York Times, Washington Post, and Indie Bestseller\nA National Book Award Nominee\nOne of Barack Obama’s Favorite Books of the Year\nA National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist\nA “Best Book of the Year” from New York Times ● Washington Post ● TIME Magazine ● The New Yorker ● Publishers Weekly ● The Chicago Tribune ● Smithsonian Magazine ● Christian Science Monitor ● Air Mail\n\n“Supple, penetrating, heartstring-pulling and compulsively readable . . .
