Mother Daughter Book Reviews is pleased to be coordinating a Blog Tour for the middle grade book, "Between the Lines" by Claudia Whitsitt from May 18 to 31, 2015.
About the Book
Title: Between the Lines | Author: Claudia Whitsitt | Publication Date: March, 2015 | Publisher: Independent | Pages: 318 | Recommended Ages: 9+
Summary: Between the Lines tells the story of three girls who become friends during the racially-charged aftermath of the 1967 Detroit Riots.
Hattie Percha is crushed when the riots start on her tenth birthday, and when she must move away from her treasured childhood home and friends, attending public school for the first time, she’s afraid her life is over. Then, she meets Beverly Jo Nichols, her first black friend, and Crackers, a fearless tomboy. Despite opposition from Hattie’s mother and a racist teacher, the unlikely friends join forces. As the self-proclaimed Dream Girls, they challenge bigotry and intolerance, willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto what’s most precious to them all, their friendship.

My Review: I loved this book. 'It's weird, but after all my balled up thinking about between the lines, Dad spelled things out for me in a few simple words. Don't break the rules. Stay between the lines. Do something everyday to demonstrate your character. This is how I'll change the world.'Hattie is such a great character who wants to change the world. She has to move leaving her best friends behind. But in a new school she makes new friends who teach her a lot about life and true friendship. Powerful story. Teaches not just children, but everyone to treat each other with respect.
