One Crazy Summer: Rita Williams-Garcia

One Crazy Summer  is about three African-American girls named, Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern, and how they take a plane from their home to Oakland, California, to meet their long-lost mother who left when Fern was barely born. 
Their mother Cecile is a poet, who lives in a green stucco house. 
As the story goes on, the girls go to a summer camp, created by a group of African-American people called The Black Panthers, who protest about African-American's unfair rights. 
Soon, their mother is arrested for no reason. 
One Crazy Summer is a fun story about sisterhood, motherhood, and sticking together.
I personally think it's a great book, and that you should definitely read it. 
It has at least fifteen awards, and I'll only list a few. 
The Scott O'Dell Award, Newbery Honor, Coretta Scott King Award, and National Book Award Finalist.  
It's a great book! 
So sit down for at least an hour and read this! Bye!
