No one can be at peace until he has his freedom. In Charlestown Prison, Malcolm Little struggles with the weight of his past. Plagued by nightmares, he drifts through days unsure of his future. Slowly, he befriends other prisoners and writes to his family. He reads all the books in the prison library, joins the debate team and the Nation of Islam. Malcolm grapples with race, politics, religion, and justice in the 1940s. And as his time in jail comes to an end, he begins to awaken--emerging from prison more than just Malcolm Little: Now, he is Malcolm X. Here is an intimate look at Malcolm X' s young adult years. While this book chronologically follows X: A Novel (Candlewick), it can be read as a standalone historical novel that invites larger discussions on structural racism, prison reform, and civil rights.

A must-read reminder that transformation is made possible through community. --Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewAn affecting piece of historical fiction . . . a perfect entree for young adult readers to learn about the formative years of a pivotal leader in the civil rights movement. --Booklist[The Awakening of Malcolm X] is a compelling account, for younger readers than Shabazz' s absorbing X (BCCB 2/15), with an interesting focus on the famous figure' s key philosophical development. --BCCB
