Waiting on Wednesday: Revolution by Deborah Wiles

WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, in which we share the titles whose release we are eagerly anticipating.



400 p. The Sixties Trilogy bk. 2. Scholastic Inc., April 29, 2014. 9780545106078.

Publisher synopsis: From award-winning author Deborah Wiles comes the story of a formative year for a nation embroiled in a battle over civil rights.
It is 1964, and Sunny's town, Greenwood, Mississippi, is being invaded. So is her home. Her daddy got married last summer, and her house filled up with a new stepmother, Annabelle, a new brother, Gillette, and a new sister, Audrey. Sunny's new family has been growing together, but when Gillette tattles to her father, things grow chilly between them.
Greenwood has been tense and chilly too, but that's because students and "agitators" from up north have driven down in buses for a Freedom Summer to help register citizens in the town to vote. Everyone in the town, from the churches to the schools to the movie theaters, has been choosing sides, and Sunny suddenly understands how scary it can be to help people out, even when you know you're doing good.

I love the cover! I also loved book one of the trilogy, Countdown. I like how the new cover coordinates with the cover of Countdown.



I also like the cover of the paperback of Countdown but I wonder how the art team will coordinate book 2 with book 1.



What are you waiting on?
