(3) 4-6 In 1961, Frannie confronts evidence of racism, past and present, in her small Oklahoma town when she befriends a black girl who has recently moved there. Deceptively nostalgic at first, this compelling novel does not shy away from revealing the town's ugly secrets, which include a history of Klan activity, as it shows Frannie's insular life slowly unraveling.
