    When a burning cross set by the Klan causes panic and fear in 1932 Bumblebee, North Carolina, fifth-grader Stella must face prejudice and find the strength to demand change in her segregated town.

    This book about a young African-American girl witnessing a KKK rally in the 1930s was really eye-opening for me and taught me a lot. 10/10 recommend!
