(4) 4-6 This historical novel focuses on an African-American family--Alfa, his sister, and their great-grandmother--as they struggle to make ends meet during the Montgomery bus boycott. Alfa and his sister must also solve the mystery of their disappearing rent money and absolve themselves of a false robbery charge. Occasional jarring instances of modern dialogue and terminology are a minor distraction.
