(4) 4-6 It's 1968, and ten-year-old Alice only vaguely understands the civil rights battles tearing apart the country. When her mother begins dating a bigoted politician, Alice relies on Doc, the family's curmudgeonly gardener, to teach her some life lessons. The novel is purposeful, and Alice often seems either older or younger than she is, but the story is still engaging.
