Revolution

Author: Deborah Wiles

Genre: Historical Fiction

What this book is about: "This book is mainly about 2 kids, Sunny and Raymond. The book switches perspectives from his to hers and again and again.... 

    It's the summer of 1964, and Sunny's world is changing. She's a white girl living in Greenwood, Mississippi, and the agitators have arrived. From getting along with her new family, to staying out of gunshot range, there's a lot Sunny will have to adjust to the summer she turns thirteen.

     Raymond is a black 14-year old in Mississippi, and he's tired of ""separate but equal". The Civil Righters have come, and he's joined them. He takes risks, and gets arrested multiple times. There's danger in doing these things with the Civil Righters, but he doesn't care. He wants equal rights, and he wants them now.

Your opinion: I liked the book. I liked the parts where Sunny and Raymond interacted. I didn't like how the facts came in between the story parts, and how it switched character perspectives so many times. 

Rating:  3 out of 5 stars

Who would like this book: I think people who ❤️ historical fiction and books about segregation would like this book.
