Tru & Nelle: A Christmas Tale
Tru & Nelle: A Christmas Tale | G. Neri
Young Truman Capote thought life in New York City was going to be perfect, but things didnt work out as planned. In fact, Tru is downright miserable. So he decides to run away to Monroeville, Alabama, and the only friend hes ever had, Nelle Harper Lee. But things don't go well there, either. Bad things seem to happen wherever he goes. The only explanation: he must be cursed. Christmas is coming, and Trus only wish is to be happy. But itll take a miracle for that to come true. Luckily, a special feast brings the miracle he's hoping for. Tru and Nelle: A Christmas Tale is based on the real life friendship of Truman Capote and Harper Lee.

A short middle grade imagining of the childhoods of Truman Capote and Harper Lee. I‘m glad I finally got to this one.

This is listed as middle grade/young adult I think because of the age of the characters but what lover of To Kill a Mockingbird wouldn‘t want to read the fictional adventures of young Truman Capote and Harper Lee?

As a huge fan of Truman Capote, I really loved the first Tru & Nelle story, which is based on the lives of childhood best friends Truman Capote and Harper Lee. This Christmas story takes place a few years after the first, when they‘re 12-13 years old and Truman has run away from military school to his family in Alabama. A good glimpse of the depression and racism in the 1930s, I would highly recommend this to fans of Truman and Harper Lee. 4⭐️

MinDea Oohhh! Thanks for the heads up on this one! Sounds great! 5y
