"Creating a book that reads as though written in one effortless breath requires a rare talent . . Readers will root for a painfully shy girl to discover the depths of her own courage and find hope in the notion that even in tumultuous times, standing up for the people you love can't be wrong. Satisfying, gratifying, touching, weighty-this authentic piece of work has got soul."- The New York Times Book Review

"Kristin Levine's The Lions of Little Rock, the story of a black girl and a white girl who become friends during the integration of that city's schools in 1958, has been awarded the New-York Historical Society's first children's history book prize."-New-York Historical Society Children's History Book Prize Award

"A story of friendship between two girls in the civil-rights-era South."- The New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Award

* "The remarkable story of the Little Rock Nine is familiar to many, but what happened next? In this quietly powerful page-turner, Levine focuses her attention on the events that unfolded in Little Rock the year after the integration of the city's public schools."- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "With remarkable depth and clarity, Levine unflinchingly portrays racial tension in the 1950s Deep South. Reader will be moved by Marlee and Liz's strong bonds and inspired by Marlee's unwavering tenacity in the face of what seems like insurmountable adversity."- School Library Journal, starred review

* "Successfully weaving historical events with a dynamic personal narrative, Levine ( The Best Bad Luck I Ever Had) offers a riveting, frequently tense portrait of 1958 Little Rock, Ark., the tumultuous year when the governor refused integration by closing local high schools."- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"But you know what, the best gift of all is the laughter. We never have enough laughter..."

A beautiful book about tears, struggles, hardships and loss. This book is also about laughter, hope, family and above all, the blessings!

Set in Bumblebee (never knew there was a place by that name), North Carolina, and in the year 1932, this story is narrated by a 11-year-old young storyteller, Stella Mills.

Rich, Compelling and Creative.

Stella by Starlight by Sharon M. Draper is highly recommended!

Ain't ...more
