Commentary During Books The Best Bad Luck I Ever Had

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.

Comment On Containing Books The Best Bad Luck I Ever Had

This book was so good! It was about two kids with different races becoming friends. It reminds me a lot of Lions of Little Rock.

Some book are just good literature and do not need the adjectival clause "young adult"; examples are The Book Thief and The Bog Child. Some probably need the clause but are still excellent literature; examples would be Holes or The Keeper. This book fits in neither category but is just typical young adult literature, mostly written in that over excited slangy style that we adults seem to think attracts young adults. The book is saved by having an interesting topic - racism in Alabama in about

I am always little conflicted when reviewing children's books. I generally have two opinions: my adult response and my "what-I-think-kids-will-think" response.For children, the author very successfully presented the topic of race relations. The language was concise, accessible, and the story intriguing. The main character, Dit, was well developed. I liked that he didn't always make the right choice. I think kids will really respond to him and injustice presented in the plot.On the flip (and

This book kept me entertained throughout most of the story. There were a couple parts that seemed to just drag me along. I really thought this was a good book, but not 5 star worthy. The way it was written did make me amazed because I had to imagine all the research that Kristen Levine did to make this possible. I loved the book, it kept me entertained, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Now, I was not into Historical-Fiction books at all when I first started reading it. But now

This is some really good YA fiction - great dialogue with precocious, engaging characters - but with some heavy themes of race and violence (so best for 7th grade and up).Some of the scenes felt a bit forced (and Dit and Emma's ages and genders made some of the scenes feel further out of time and place), but I did enjoy how much Dit grew as a result of his friendship with Emma. I really enjoyed how Levine dealt with the racism issues.Recommended.

Ive been wrong before. Oh heck, if Im being real honest, Ive been wrong a lot. But I aint never been so wrong as I was about Emma Walker. When she first came to town, I thought she was the worst piece of bad luck Id had since falling in the outhouse on my birthday.Its the summer of 1917 in Moundville, Alabama. Harry Dit Sims cant wait for the new postmaster Mr. Walker to arrive on the train from Boston with his family. Hes excited because hes heard Mr. Walker has a twelve year old son, the same

Another YALSA Amazing Audiobooks pick. Excellent narration by Kirby Heyborne.I would probably choose to shelve this one in J rather than in YA, because there is really no questionable content, and the narrator is 12. That being said, this was a wonderful book that could be enjoyed by anyone from about fourth grade on up. Dit Sims meets Emma Walker when she arrives in town as the new postmaster's daughter. Dit has been told that the new postmaster has a twelve-year-old son, so he is disappointed
