One day Pa comes home with a gift from his civil rights group: a typewriter. Thrilled with the present, Mason spends all his spare time teaching himself to type. Soon he knows where every letter on the keyboard is located.\nWhen the civil rights group wins a school desegregation case, Mason learns that now he will be attending a formerly all-white high school. Despite his fears and injustice from the students and faculty, Mason perseveres. He does well in school-especially in his typing class. And when he competes in the county typing tournament, Mason decides to take a stand, using his skills to triumph over prejudice and break racial barriers.\nWinner of Lee \u0026amp; Low's New Voices Award, As Fast As Words Could Fly is an inspiring testament to the power of hard work, determination, and belief in yourself to overcome life's challenges.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1620148595\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1620148595.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pamela M.
