Mississippi Trial, 1955 by Chris Crowe

4.0

Compelling read about a boy who visits his grandfather in Mississippi for the summer, and meets Emmett Till, who later comes up missing and then is found murdered for hitting on a white woman. Based on a true story, of course, and I think it’s just contemporary-sounding enough to pull in young reluctant readers and get them interested in both reading books and learning about history.
