Prohibition, bootlegging, murder, and an orphaned baby figure prominently in this story of Hobnob, Mississippi, 1927. Federal agent Ingersoll delivers an orphaned baby to Dixie Clay and is charmed by the young woman. Little does he realize he's falling in love with a bootlegger and a married one, at that. As a great flood looms, saboteurs are dynamiting the levees, saving New Orleans but leaving Hobnob under water. The boundless power of raging water escalates, and everyone struggles to survive in this amazing story of the courage and grit of the complex, color characters in desperate times!
Stop! Read this book!
Contains Science! Adventure! History! Computers! Most importantly: Crime Fighting!
"For the sake of London and Science!"
Julia is d/Deaf, Indian-American, and most importantly, an Amazing artist. The fact that her primary medium is spray paint and graffiti murals is beside the point. Except when she gets kicked out of her School for the Deaf for covering up a slur of her best friend and is forced to go to public school.
Gardner does all the illustrations for Julia's art and hand signs, and let me just say that they are INCREDIBLE. Julia's tenacity and refusal to be ashamed of her differences are inspiring and a much needed voice in books - YA especially.
