MIDNIGHT WITHOUT A MOON by Linda Williams Jackson
I love this book. Told in the first person, it is a middle grade historical fiction that reaps a truck load of laughter as spunky Rose Lee and her friend, Hallelujah, run through the fields of the Mississippi Delta doing what kids love—talking, playing and dreaming of a future.
The novel also yields tears and a great dose of understanding as Rose Lee, growing up in the segregated South is awaken to the evils of lynching (Emmett Till) and the courage it takes for a school girl to rally against injustice. Wouldn’t it be best to just leave Mississippi in the 1950’s?
Midnight is a book about making difficult choices and learning how to lead.
Get ready for Linda's sequel!!! SKY WITHOUT STARS is released today--January 1, 2018. YES!!!
