(2) YA This multivoiced free-verse account of the Scopes trial is told from the viewpoints of students, merchants, a reporter, and others; the novel also incorporates quotations from the trial's chief adversaries, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryant. The narrative strategy allows for explication of the conflict between biblical literalism and scientific thought while properly keeping the human drama at center stage. Reading list.
