(3) 4-6 During the Depression, Charlie Anne suffers many hardships: her mother has died, her father and brother move North for work, and she's stuck living with her strict cousin, Mirabel. When Phoebe, a young African American girl, moves in next door, the two forge a friendship that must endure the prejudice surrounding them. Strong characters and complex themes make the story engaging.
