(1) 4-6 Young Zora Neale Hurston and her friend Carrie (Zora and Me) are pulled into another mystery involving their tight-knit African American community in Eatonville, Florida. The main narrative, set in 1903, alternates with that of a girl enslaved on a Florida plantation in 1855. Their stories merge with a heart-stopping climactic scene. Simon's suspenseful plot moves briskly even as it folds in profound, timely, and important themes. Reading list, timeline.
