A review by sueann
One Mississippi by Mark Childress

4.0

I loved the voice of the narrator/main character, a sweet but smart-alecky boy. It's a coming of age novel set in 1972 Mississippi, with both humorous and serious scenes. My favorite funny scene was the world debut of the gospel musical at the black Bible college. What a hoot. Great character development and a really good story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
