<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>In mid-1960s Halifax, 12-year-old Selina is growing up in a tightly knit community of African-Canadians whose days are numbered when ugly rumours surface about the fate of Africville.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Short-listed for the 2004 CLA Book of the Year for Children Award, for the 2005 Diamond Willow Award and for the 2005 Hackmatack Children's Choice Book Award</i> <br/><br/> On the shores of Bedford Basin in Halifax, 12-year-old Selina Palmer is growing up in the community of Africville in the 1960s. Struggling with what it means to be the only black student in her Grade 6 class, Selina takes comfort in the fact that every day she goes home to a loving and vibrant neighbourhood, where friends and family accept her as she is. But ugly rumours are starting to surface about the fate of Africville...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Guess what!" Selina exclaimed, confronting her grandmother and father, who were enjoying mugs of coffee at the kitchen table. They stopped their conversation and faced her expectantly. "Molly and me just saw two white men over at the Jenkins's house. They looked as if they might be from the city. They walked all over the property and checked the well, then they went inside with Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. What do you think they wanted?" There was complete silence for a good half minute before Grandma banged down her coffee mug and uttered a long, low wail, quite the saddest sound Selina had ever heard. The old lady then pulled her apron over her face and laid her head on the table, sobbing as if her heart would break.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Dorothy Perkyns is the author of several previous young adult novels. She lives in Blandford, Nova Scotia.</p>
