(2) 4-6 In 1955, the daily drudgery of thirteen-year-old Rose's life with her sharecropper grandparents is precipitously disrupted when Emmett Till is murdered. This nuanced coming-of-age story is deftly delivered, with engaging characters set against a richly contextualized backdrop of life for African Americans during the Jim Crow era. It's also an authentic work of historical fiction about a pivotal incident in the civil rights movement.
