I thoroughly enjoyed Rita Williams-Garcia's story of Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern, three sisters who are sent to LA at the height of the Black Panther movement to spend time with the mother who abandoned them. Williams-Garcia writes with great voice, and the conversations between these sisters-- and others as well--will sound familiar to the ear of anyone who has had similar conversations with those in their lives. One Crazy Summer is a historical fiction book that gives tremendous insight into a time and movement in our country of which many either are unaware, or have misconceptions about. Beyond this, though, it is a story of relationships, and this makes it accessible to all young readers. Wonderful book!
