About this product
Product Information
To Kill a Mockingbird meets One Crazy Summer in this powerful, bittersweet debut about one girl's journey to reconnect with her mother and learn the truth about her father in the tumultuous times of the Jim Crow South. "Timely, captivating, and lovely. So glad this book is in the world." --Jacqueline Woodson, author of Brown Girl Dreaming In the small town of Alcolu, South Carolina, in 1944, 12-year-old Ella spends her days fishing and running around with her best friend Henry and cousin Myrna. But life is not always so sunny for Ella, who gets bullied for her light skin tone and whose mother is away pursuing a jazz singer dream in Boston. So Ella is ecstatic when her mother invites her to visit for Christmas. Little does she expect the truths she will discover about her mother, the father she never knew and her family's most unlikely history. And after a life-changing month, she returns South and is shocked by the news that her schoolmate George has been arrested for the murder of two local white girls. Bittersweet and eye-opening, How High the Moon is a timeless novel about a girl finding herself in a world all but determined to hold her down.

Reviews
" A tender and compelling story about loving and belonging. Parsons masterfully takes us on a journey where the political is personal, where the most heartbreaking moments are also profound and beautiful. Ella is a character readers will care about, cry with, and cheer for. How High the Moon is a stunning debut that promises to have readers wanting more and more from Parsons."-- Renee Watson, author of Piecing Me Together, *"Parsons has penned a vivid, compelling tale that will stay with readers long after they turn the final page."-- School Library Journal, starred review, "....historical fiction fans may nonetheless appreciate this look at racial tensions in both the South and the North in the World War II era."-- BCCB, "A stirring, emotionally resonant debut, How High the Moon opens a fresh and sensitive window on a terrifying time, even as it introduces us to a lovable new heroine--Ella Louise!"-- Tony Abbott, author of Firegirl and The Great Jeff., "Parson's sparkling debut grabs us by the heart and leads us by the hand into a painful past filled with revelations, hope, and homecoming. Absolutely Glorious! "-- Rita Williams Garcia, author of One Crazy Summer, "A timeless tale that uncovers family secrets and hidden histories for readers of all ages and backgrounds. Masterfully done !"-- Tami Charles, author of Like Vanessa, "....wonderful voices and character interactions, and an evocative cover will draw readers."-- Booklist, "A talented, engaging new voice. A brave, compassionate, and lovable heroine ."-- Jewell Parker Rhodes, author of Ghost Boys, * "As compelling as Brown Girl Dreaming , as character-driven as One Crazy Summer , and as historically illuminating as Roll of Thunder , Hear My Cry . A captivating novel that sheds new light on black childhood."-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review, " How High the Moon is at once historical and timely, captivating, and lovely . In Karyn Parsons brilliant hands, I feel like I've traveled a lifetime into the heartbreaking and beautiful south of the 1940s, spent time with Ella, Myrna and Henry and the many other amazing people I've met in this book, then landed back here in the present day having left a part of me behind. So glad this book is in the world ."-- Jacqueline Woodson, author of Brown Girl Dreaming, "In How High the Moon , Karyn Parson brings the same verve, timing, and emotive brilliance that she brought to the screen. Equal parts mystery, historical fiction, and coming-of-age, this is a story full of warmth and light and drama that will captivate you. That will haunt you. And that will ultimately enlighten you."-- Kwame Alexander, author of The Crossover, "A stirring, emotionally resonant debut, How High the Moon opens a fresh and sensitive window on a terrifying time, even as it introduces us to a lovable new heroine--Ella Louise!"-- p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Times}span.s1 {font-kerning: none}Tony Abbott, author of Firegirl and The Great Jeff.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
