(3) 4-6 In this book inspired by a young Zora Neale Hurston, Zora, Teddy, and Carrie (the story's narrator) are best friends. Each faces his or her own challenges growing up in the all-black town of Eatonville, Florida. When a local man is murdered, the curious pals investigate. The story's powerful themes--racism, violence, murder--are well tempered by its entertaining plot and vivid voices. Timeline. Bib.
