Celeste's Harlem Renaissance

279 pp. | Little | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-52394-3 $15.99
(2) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Celeste moves to New York, where the Harlem Renaissance is in full swing, to live with her idolized aunt. Celeste deals with Aunti's unpredictability and makes her own mark playing violin. Figures including Duke Ellington make appearances without disrupting the story. Tate can get bogged down in details, but Celeste's wide-eyed observations pull readers into her rapidly expanding world.
