The summer of 1964 is a time of change in Hanging Moss, Miss. Eleven-year-old Glory is looking forward to her favorite summer events: spending time at the pool, visiting the library, playing cards with her older sister, and hanging out with her classmate, Frankie. Glory’s summer changes dramatically as she deals with a sister growing up, new friends from the North, and questions about how and when to take a stand against segregation. Young readers will develop a clearer understanding of racism and how to stand up for what is right. The short chapters and easy reading style make this for children ages 10 and up. (Scholastic)
