Revolution

Revolution

by Deborah Wiles


In Greenwood, Mississippi during the summer of 1964, Freedom fighters arrive from the northern states to register African Americans to vote. It's a tumultuous time for our nation and for Sunny, the main character. Her life is turned upside down with the arrival of a new step-mother and step-siblings. She starts acting out and gets caught sneaking into the community pool after it's closed. During her swim at the pool, she literally runs into a mystery boy and they're lives become entangled throughout the summer. It's compelling historical fiction about the Civil Rights Movement in the South, choosing right from wrong, and young people standing up for themselves.
