Welcome to Bombingham

By Rhonda Lynn Rucker

Earl B. Peterson is angry after the Ku Klux Klan bombs his house, killing his mother. When his plummeting grades put him in danger of losing his college scholarship, a teacher asks ace student Shirley Dupree to tutor him in algebra. But there is constant tension between the classmates, as she is active in the nonviolence movement and he's only interested in revenge. In this novel for young people set against the backdrop of the Birmingham Children's March in the 1960s, the characters help where adults had failed in transforming public opinion and energizing the civil-rights movement.
