Description
In 1932 Bumblebee, North Carolina, fifth-grader Stella is thrust into a crisis when a burning cross set by the Klan ignites fear across her segregated community. As panic spreads and prejudice tightens its grip, Stella must decide whether to stay silent or speak up—finding allies, courage, and a voice strong enough to challenge injustice. Blending coming-of-age heart with historical realism, this story explores racism, moral responsibility, and the power of small acts of resistance to spark lasting change. Sharon M. Draper’s signature blend of emotional clarity and purposeful storytelling brings Stella’s determination to life, making this an unforgettable journey toward justice.
