The Lions of Little Rock - Paperback
by Kristin Levine (Author)
"Satisfying, gratifying, touching, weighty--this authentic piece of work has got soul."--The New York Times Book Review
As twelve-year-old Marlee starts middle school in 1958 Little Rock, it feels like her whole world is falling apart. Until she meets Liz, the new girl at school. Liz is everything Marlee wishes she could be: she's brave, brash and always knows the right thing to say. But when Liz leaves school without even a good-bye, the rumor is that Liz was caught passing for white. Marlee decides that doesn't matter. She just wants her friend back. And to stay friends, Marlee and Liz are even willing to take on segregation and the dangers their friendship could bring to both their families.Kristin Levine (www.kristinlevine.com) received her BA in German from Swarthmore College and an MFA in film from American University.
