<p><b>"Nourishes the spirit and fills the soul." - Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, author of O<i>peration Sisterhood</i><br><br>"Touching and inspiring." - Lisa Moore Ramée, author of <i>A Good Kind of Trouble</i><br><br>"A taste of history with the thrills of mystery and brims with family secrets." - Alicia D. Williams, award-winning author of <i>Genesis Begins Again</i></b><br><b> <br>Judy Blume meets Jacqueline Woodson in this powerful and sweetly emotional coming-of-age story about finding your place in the world, from the author of <i>How High the Moon</i>.</b><br><br>This was supposed to be the best year ever for eleven-year-old Stevie Morrison. But instead, her life seems determined to turn itself upside down.<br><br>First of all, her parents can't stop fighting - and they decide to move the family to a totally new apartment, in a totally new part of town, which means a totally new middle school for Stevie. On top of that, her best friend, Jennifer, is acting weird. She won't return Stevie's phone calls, and apparently her new best friends are a bunch of mean girls.<br><br>The final straw comes with the arrival of Stevie's teenage cousin Naomi - sent down in disgrace from Boston (though no one will tell Stevie why). But with Naomi comes an exciting glimpse of a world Stevie hasn't paid much attention to before: one of Cleopatra Jones movies, women's liberation and an intriguing-sounding group called the Black Panthers.<br><br>It might not be the year Stevie anticipated. But it will be the one that changes her life forever.<br><br><b>Praise for How High the Moon:<br><br>"Essential reading, full of voices that must be heard. One of the best stories I've read in a long while" - Emma Carroll, author of <i>Letters from the Lighthouse<br> </i></b><br><b>"An impressive debut" - <i>Mail on Sunday</i></b></p>
