Use One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia to turn your read aloud or small group work into a time to improve comprehension and talk about the text in purposeful ways.

Follow eleven-year-old Delphine and her two younger sisters as they travel from Brooklyn to Oakland, California to meet the mother who abandoned them. With dreams of Disneyland and Tinker Bell, the summer's reality changes when their mother enrolls the girls in a day camp run by the Black Panthers. Focus on how the author uses perspective to tell the story of a pivotal time in America's history. The mini lessons included in this Book Club resource set make it easy to engage readers as they learn about perspective through the eyes of a character who could be one of their classmates. This Newberry Honor book won the Coretta Scott King Award and was a National Book Award Finalist.

Publisher's Summary:
In One Crazy Summer, eleven-year-old Delphine is like a mother to her two younger sisters, Vonetta and Fern. She's had to be, ever since their mother, Cecile, left them seven years ago for a radical new life in California. But when the sisters arrive from Brooklyn to spend the summer with their mother, Cecile is nothing like they imagined. While the girls hope to go to Disneyland and meet Tinker Bell, their mother sends them to a day camp run by the Black Panthers. Unexpectedly, Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern learn much about their family, their country, and themselves during one truly crazy summer.
