3.5 ⭐️ a good story! After reading the author‘s note, I learned George Stinney was a real person which makes it sadder. I enjoyed this debut novel!

The author played Will Smith‘s cousin Hilary in Fresh Prince. Well done 👍🏼

Friday night I met Karyn Parsons, author of this lyrical, layered middle grade novel. Ella, growing up in 1943 South Carolina, journeys to discover who she is as the era‘s turbulence grows around her. I love that it doesn‘t dumb anything down; young readers are often underestimated in what they can understand and carry. This doesn‘t shy away from hard moments, but underlines that even in darkness there are foil stars to catch the light. Stunning!
The Floof is helping me read for my third (THIRD!) author dinner this week. It‘s been a bit frenetic around here, so we‘re enjoying the quiet morning!
