Revolution by Deborah Wiles
4.0
Sunny is just trying to enjoy her summer before she begins junior high, but nothing seems to be going her way. First she and her step-brother get caught breaking into the city pool after nightfall, and then she finds out there are "invaders" coming into town.

Sunny finds herself caught up in the conflict as attempts to desegregate her town come to violence.
