Beyond Mayfield

(3) 4-6 It's 1961, and narrator Meg is the only black student in her fourth-grade class at Parkview, where her white teacher mistrusts her and air-raid drills unnerve her. After Lucky, a white neighbor, approaches Meg's parents with his interest in the civil rights movement, they become unintentionally complicit in a tragedy that shakes the whole Mayfield community. This engaging sequel to Mayfield Crossing is as heartbreaking as it is hopeful.
