Whistling Past the Graveyard by Susan Crandall

5.0

I never thought reading a book from a nine and a half year old girl's point of view would be riveting, but this book was just that.

Starla is a white girl in 1963 Mississippi. She runs away from home and is helped by a black woman, Eula, who doesn't want to call any attention to herself either, or the white baby that is in the truck with her.

This book made me laugh, cry and gasp at the history being replayed. Great story--would recommend.
