In this Newbery Honor novel, New York Times bestselling author Rita
Williams-Garcia tells the story of three sisters who travel to
Oakland, California, in 1968 to meet the mother who abandoned
them.Eleven-year-old Delphine is like a mother to her two younger
sisters, Vonetta and Fern. She's had to be, ever since their
mother, Cecile, left them seven years ago for a radical new life in
California. But when the sisters arrive from Brooklyn to spend the
summer with their mother, Cecile is nothing like they imagined.
While the girls hope to go to Disneyland and meet Tinker Bell,
their mother sends them to a day camp run by the Black Panthers.
Unexpectedly, Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern learn much about their
family, their country, and themselves during one truly crazy
summer.This moving, funny novel won the Scott O'Dell Award for
Historical Fiction and the Coretta Scott King Award and was a
National Book Award Finalist. Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern's story
continues in P.S. Be Eleven and Gone Crazy in Alabama. Readers who
enjoy Christopher Paul Curtis's The Watsons Go to Birmingham and
Jacqueline Woodson's Brown Girl Dreaming will find much to love in
One Crazy Summer. This novel was the first featured title for
Marley D's Reading Party, launched after the success of
#1000BlackGirlBooks. Maria Russo, in a New York Times list of
"great kids' books with diverse characters," called it "witty and
original."
