I'm listening to Spite Fences by Trudy Krisher, an terrific author who lives in our area. It different than I expected, dealing frankly with strong issues of racism and family abuse. It takes place just before the American Civil Rights Movement in a small town in Georgia. The main character, Magnolia April Pugh (Maggie) is a strong, spunky character.

Like I said in class, I loved this book. Before reading it I hadn't really read many YA titles. This book opened my world to the richness available through young adult reading!
