Tayari Jones: Leaving Atlanta, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"It's the end of summer in Atlanta, and fifth-grade classmates Tasha Baxter, Rodney Green, and Octavia Harrison will discover back-to-back school means facing everyday challenges in a new world of safety lessons, terrified parents, and constant fear. Set during the two-year nightmare in which Atlanta's Black chidren vanishing and twenty-nine would be found murdered by 1982, LEAVING ATLANTA portrays one of the darkest tragedies in American history through the eyes of three unforgettable children. Here are all the hurts and little wins, the all-too-sudden changes, and the merciless outside forces that can sweep the young into adulthood and forever shape their lives." -- Back cover.
