(4) YA The son of a black blues musician and white college professor, Zack decides to do a research project based on artifacts he finds on his family's property. Without permission, he travels to Mississippi to explore his maternal family's roots and meet the grandfather his mother refuses to discuss. Despite numerous clichés, the novel is smooth and satisfying, sustaining energy and interest throughout.
