Dani Beans comes from a colorful background, and has history in Oxford. Her grandmother, Ruth, was a famous author, and so was the grandmother’s friend Avadelle. Dani and Ruth were very close. But when Ruth gets Alzheimer's, she tells Dani to find a box that she “left for history, and let the ghosts keep it for her.” Dani, along with the help of her friend Indri, her sort-of ex-friend Mac, and Dr. Harper, go on an adventure to find out about the Magnolia Feud, Oxford’s history, and Dani’s own past. It takes them into the past, and gives them an adventure that they won’t forget.
I think that this book is a great book to read. It teaches you about history and segregation in an entertaining story.
This book is an example of true persistence, even when there are tough consequences. Dani refuses to give up reading “Night On Fire”, even when she gets in trouble for doing so. She keeps looking through the Ole Miss Campus grounds, looking for the box, even though it is trespassing. She goes into the creepy stairwell, even though she is scared to.
It lets you know about how people of different races were treated, and what comes from it. People were killed for being different colors, being multi-racial, or associating with people of different races. They were given poor jobs, homes, and had to go to poor schools. They had to sit, stand, drive, and do other things in a separate place than white people.
It also tells a story about a seemingly ordinary girl trying to figure out the greatest mystery in her town. She discovers why Avadelle and Ruth were fighting. She helps resolve Avadelle and Ruth’s conflict, and make them friends again, like they used to be. She discovered what happened on the night of the Meredith Riot, and what happened to her grandmother.
I definitely recommend this book to everybody, especially people that love drama, history, and ghosts!
