Glory Be

202 pp. | Scholastic | January, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-33180-7 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Glory doesn't understand what's happening in her Mississippi hometown during the "Freedom Summer" of 1964. Difficult and changing relationships with her sister Jesslyn and friend Frankie mirror the swirling upheaval. The hotly debated closing of the segregated community pool both serves as a snapshot of the tumultuous era and illustrates Glory's realizations about the power of her own convictions.
