The last thing Harry "Dit" Sims expects when Emma Walker comes to town is to become friends. Proper -talking, brainy Emma doesn't play baseball or fish too well, but she sure makes Dit think, especially about the differences between black and white. But soon Dit is thinking about a whole lot more when the town barber, who is black, is put on trial for a terrible crime. Together Dit and Emma come up with a daring plan to save him from the unthinkable. Set in 1917 and inspired by the author's true family history, this is the poignant story of a remarkable friendship and the perils of small-town justice.

Assessment About Books The Best Bad Luck I Ever Had

Set in Moundville, Alabama in 1917 this charming juvenile novel was based on the author's grandfather's handwritten memoir. Folks who didn't grow up in the South may not "buy" that children of different races played together and often became friends, and Levine's story captures perfectly the truth that among White Southerners there was (and still is) a vast difference between those who were (and are) unencumbered by prejudice, those who hold their prejudice inside and allow graciousness and good

This was a terrific story. The characters were engaging and the story line really drew me in.

Ive been wrong before. Oh heck, if Im being real honest, Ive been wrong a lot. But I aint never been so wrong as I was about Emma Walker. When she first came to town, I thought she was the worst piece of bad luck Id had since falling in the outhouse on my birthday.Its the summer of 1917 in Moundville, Alabama. Harry Dit Sims cant wait for the new postmaster Mr. Walker to arrive on the train from Boston with his family. Hes excited because hes heard Mr. Walker has a twelve year old son, the same

This book kept me entertained throughout most of the story. There were a couple parts that seemed to just drag me along. I really thought this was a good book, but not 5 star worthy. The way it was written did make me amazed because I had to imagine all the research that Kristen Levine did to make this possible. I loved the book, it kept me entertained, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Now, I was not into Historical-Fiction books at all when I first started reading it. But now

This is almost a five star book for me. It was just so so good. Historical fiction at it's finest.

This quick read (maybe 3-4 hours?) was great. I kind of wanted to give it 5 stars, but the "It was amazing" part scared me. I decided maybe I was thinking 5 stars simply because I've read some crappy books lately. : ) Either way, I very much enjoyed it. Apparently, I really like stories of race interactions as I've read a lot dealing with black vs. white. Add the South to it and place it before segregation ended and I really, really am interested to see what happens. The theory of it all is

I have always liked morality tales and fables. By manipulating reality, ultimate truths are revealed. The key aspect of reading such works of fiction, however, is that I suspend any expectation that they should be real, much as I would wish that they were real. Carpets really don't fly, foxes don't speak wisdom in a human voice and villains don't always get destroyed by the forces of good.It is in this spirit that I review this book. Not marketed as a fairytale or fable, but in the spirit of a
