Stella by Starlight

Description

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.
