It's 1926, and narrator Kath, eleven, and her sister are summering with their grandfather, a pastor in Peaceable, Indiana. When the local Ku Klux Klan targets Grando's black housekeeper, Kath and Grando spearhead the fight against racism. The prose is less sure-footed than the suspenseful plotting: Should Kath disobey Grando if it could mean saving his life? And which neighbor is secretly the Klan's leader?
