Revolution by Deborah Wiles
5.0
Great historical fiction based in Mississippi in 1964 during 'invasion summer.' Sunny has no idea that the 'invaders' coming are really people from the North who hope to get the African American citizens registered to vote and start a movement that grabs the attention of the nation.
The story line is interspersed with historical photos, speech quotes, music lyrics, and brochures to help give the feeling of greenwood Mississippi in 1964.
The story is told mostly from the prespective of Sunny, a 12 year old white girl, mixed with pieces from her 13 year old step brother and a 13 year old back boy.
This book looks really long, but there are lots of photos and other things mixed in making it a faster read than it appears to be.
