Rating: 4 stars
Where did this book take you: Daytona Florida and Statesboro Georgia
Review: This book is creepy, but in a good way! What amazed me was that this is a true story. The Ku Klux Klan ruined tons of people's lives. This is a strong story about what a young girl did to stand up against injustice.
