Full Cicada Moon - Marilyn Hilton

Detalii:

Inside Out and Back Again meets One Crazy Summer and Brown Girl Dreaming in this novel-in-verse about fitting in and standing up for whats right. Its 1969, and the Apollo 11 mission is getting ready to go to the moon. But for half-black, half-Japanese Mimi, moving to a predominantly white Vermont town is enough to make her feel alien. Suddenly, Mimis appearance is all anyone notices. She struggles to fit in with her classmates, even as she fights for her right to stand out by entering science competitions and joining Shop Class instead of Home Ec. And even though teachers and neighbors balk at her mixed-race family and her refusals to conform, Mimis dreams of becoming an astronaut never fade--no matter how many times shes told no. This historical middle-grade novel is told in poems from Mimis perspective over the course of one year in her new town, and shows readers that positive change can start with just one person speaking up. Winner of the 2015-2016 APALA Literature Award in the Childrens category * Readers will be moved by the empathetic lyricism of Mimis maturing voice.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review * This novel stands out with its thoughtful portrayal of race and its embrace of girls in science and technical fields. The verse, though spare, is powerful and evocative, perfectly capturing Mimis emotional journey.--School Library Journal, starred review
