The Best Bad Luck I Ever Had
Author: Kristin Levine
Desc: The last thing Harry "Dit" Sims expects when Emma Walker comes to town is to become friends. Proper -talking brainy Emma doesn't play baseball or fish too well but she sure makes Dit think especially about the differences between black and white. But soon Dit is thinking about a whole lot more when the town barber who is black is put on trial for a terrible crime. Together Dit and Emma come up with a daring plan to save him from the unthinkable. Set in 1917 and inspired by the author's true family history this is the poignant story of a remarkable friendship and the perils of small-town justice.
