(4) 4-6 Century Kids series. The series, tracing the lives of several families through the twentieth century, moves into the 1950s as siblings Matthew and Carol create an integrated rock 'n' roll band with their friends Ronnie and Michelle. The 1960s are represented by African-American Sojie, who participates in a drugstore sit-in, and Chuck, who starts an underground newspaper at school. The prose is facile, though the series concept remains intriguing. [Review covers these Century Kids titles: The 1950s and The 1960s.]
