Washington Post 2017 KidsPost Summer Book Club selection!

Itâ€™s Mississippi in the summer of 1955, and Rose Lee Carter canâ€™t wait to move north. But for now, sheâ€™s living with her sharecropper grandparents on a white manâ€™s cotton plantation.Â

Then, one town over, an AfricanÂ American boy, Emmett Till, is killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. When Tillâ€™s murderers are unjustly acquitted, Rose realizes that the South needs a change . . . and that she should be part of the movement.Â Â

Linda Jacksonâ€™s moving debut seamlessly blends a fictional portrait of an AfricanÂ American family and factual events from a famous trial that provoked change in race relations in the United States.
