(1) 4-6 Sixties Trilogy series. This sequel to Countdown, set in 1964 Greenwood, Mississippi, stars twelve-year-old Sunny (who's white); occasional interspersed chapters are narrated by black teenager Raymond. Sunny tells of a town turned upside-down, in need of change but resistant to it. This second volume continues the documentary-novel format, with photographs, essays, song lyrics, and quotations. It's an ambitious, heady endeavor that succeeds wonderfully. Bib.
