Two-time Coretta Scott King Coretta Scott King (April 27, 1927 – January 30, 2006) was the wife of the assassinated civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., and a noted civil rights leader, author, singer, and founder and former president of the King Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Award-winning author Angela Johnson weaves together an alluring mystery in her latest novel for young adults. Mike, his sister, never lets go of Red and neither will Johnson's readers. Throughout the story, the author constantly conjures up Red's image. His spirit is everywhere. Sometimes, his family and friends believe they've seen him. Johnson--whose sentences are spare and matter-of-fact--tells the story of Red's disappearance in flashbacks, seamlessly intertwining the past and the present. The author realistically captures how Red's loss affects Mike and his friends. Mona, Red's girlfriend, parks her car in front of Red's home, waiting for his return. Mark, Red's best friend, exorcises his pain by purposely crashing his car. Mike holds on to the blue beads that her beloved brother once wore. As Johnson's emotionally wrenching story evolves, she reveals how and why Red disappeared, and how Mike and his friends were involved. Looking for Red is a daring and rich book about a teen's sense of immortality. In the end, the book is a chilling tome about love, guilt and redemption. --Angeli Rasbury is a writer living in New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States.
