(2) YA Sixties Trilogy series. Wiles's weighty, innovative trilogy (Countdown; Revolution) concludes in the summer of 1969. Fourteen-year-old Molly and her seventeen-year-old cousin Norman journey from South Carolina to San Francisco in search of Molly's brother, who left home after arguing with their father over the Vietnam War. The experience challenges their comfortable white upbringing. Wiles continues the documentary-novel format: scrapbook sections of photographs, which induce a powerful sense of immediacy, are interspersed with the main text. Reading list.
