Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool

5.0

The Boo (age 7) says..Definitely a 5 star book...plus 100 if I could. The ending was a bit sudden, but I love that a kid gets to be a reporter. The whole book was so good that I don't have a favorite part. This book made me think that being a reporter would be a good job...but my handwriting is kinda messy so I better use a typewriter. Kids who want to read this book should know that there is a mystery and there is a surprising part where a guy loses his boot with his foot still in it.
Parent note: Good book for parents to read with kids since there may be questions such as "Why did those people wear sheets and burn crosses" and "How did half the town die from the flu and is it the same flu we get now?" Topics covered: KKK, mining and union organization, war, death, and the Great Depression.
