When the Ku Klux Klan\'s unwelcome reappearance rattles Stella\'s segregated southern town, bravery battles prejudice in this New York Times bestselling Depression-era novel that soars ( The New York Times Book Review ) that School Library Journal called storytelling at its finest in a starred review.
And she learns that ashes don\'t necessarily signify an end..
As Stella\'s community--her world--is upended, she decides to fight fire with fire.
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.
To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn\'t bothered them for years.
Others are a lot less so.
Some folks are right pleasant.
Some stores she can\'t.
Some stores she can go into.
Stella lives in the segregated South--in Bumblebee, North Carolina, to be exact about it.
