(3) 4-6 In this prequel to Blue and Comfort, Hostetter focuses on another resident of rural Hickory, North Carolina: fourteen-year-old Junior Bledsoe. It's 1941, and World War II is looming, but Junior's focus is mainly on his father's death, family history, his own identity, and unexpected new friendships. Hostetter continues to depict compelling life lessons through a historical lens without being didactic. Reading list, websites. Bib.
