Hand in Hand by Katie Proctor
5.0
After reading Katie Proctor’s first book, My Storied Year, I knew I would want to read whatever she wrote. I pre-ordered this one and it did not disappoint!
While My Storied Year showed the author’s love of writing, Hand in Hand shows her love of reading. This story centers on an unlikely friendship in the 1940’s between two young girls, one Black and one White. Their friendship is developed through their shared love of books such as The Hundred Dresses, Anne of Green Gables, and The Secret Garden. I love all of those books, so I really couldn’t help but love this book too.
There are deep themes discussed in this book, all done in a very accessible way for middle grade readers. I highly recommend this book!
