Stella Stands Alone

(3) 4-6 Fourteen-year-old Stella stands out in her post–Civil War Mississippi town for being a tomboy, having African American friends, and speaking her mind. After her father's murder, she fears foreclosure on their plantation on which freed slaves democratically work the farm. LaFaye effectively shows a community where blacks and whites work together during Reconstruction.
