(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old Sugar is increasingly lonely as the other families move away from the brutal work of the sugarcane plantation for a better life in the North. In this novel set in Recontruction-era Lousiana, Rhodes vividly depicts Sugar's experiences and emotions as well as her endearing feistiness, realistically shifting moods, and capacity for friendship.
