(4) 4-6 Woodrow befriends his new next-door neighbor Senator Crawford, hoping to find a father figure. The boy quickly learns that friendship comes with a price--membership in the Ku Klux Klan. The story's resolution is too abrupt, but the hold the Klan had on a small 1920s Oklahoma town is described in a terrifying and historically accurate narrative.
