(2) 4-6 Biracial twelve-year-old Dani digs into the feud between her African American nonfiction-writer grandmother and the white author of a bestselling novel about a black woman during the 1962 Ole Miss riots. Though prone to didacticism, this novel takes its young audience seriously, grappling with complicated issues (such as who can tell whose story) and covering an important chapter of the civil rights movement. Reading list.
