A novel in free verse
Eden is thrilled that her cousin Winter Robeson from Mississippi is staying with her and her parents in LA for two weeks. Her mother has created an itinerary for the cousins; however, Winter has another agenda, to find his father who has been missing from his life for ten years. As the cousins investigate, they encounter interesting inviduals who quickly become their friends. Then for six days the Watts Riots occur, shutting down certain sections of LA. Despite the danger, the cousins rescue an elderly lady from the fray. A wonderful ending! I love the incoroporation of figurative language that utilizes musical terms.
Based on the author's memories of the Watts Riots in 1965.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowd from the library.
