About the Book One Crazy Summer:
In the summer of 1968, after traveling from Brooklyn to Oakland, California, to spend a month with the mother they barely know, eleven-year-old Delphine and her two younger sisters arrive to a cold welcome as they discover that their mother, a dedicated poet and printer, is resentful of the intrusion of their visit and wants them to attend a nearby Black Panther summer camp.
Unexpectedly, the girls learn much about their family, their country, and themselves during one truly crazy summer.
This beloved Newbery Honor Book, National Book Award finalist, and Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel about the three unforgettable Gaither sisters has been adapted into a beautiful full-color graphic novel for a new generation, with vibrant art by Sharee Miller.
