Sharon M. Draper presents “storytelling at its finest” (School
Library Journal, starred review) in this New York Times bestselling
Depression-era novel about a young girl who must learn to be brave
in the face of violent prejudice when the Ku Klux Klan reappears in
her segregated southern town. Stella lives in the segregated
South—in Bumblebee, North Carolina, to be exact about it. Some
stores she can go into. Some stores she can’t. Some folks are
right pleasant. Others are a lot less so. To Stella, it sort of
evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn’t bothered them for years. But
one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less
wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see
something they’re never supposed to see, something that is the
first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of
the imagination. As Stella’s community—her world—is upended,
she decides to fight fire with fire. And she learns that ashes
don’t necessarily signify an end.
