Albion’s Big Read: The Book

OUR 2024 Big read book: One Crazy summer BY Rita williams-garcia

Rita Williams-Garcia's One Crazy Summer is novel about three sisters who fly across the country in 1968 to spend the summer with their mother in Oakland, CA. They have big adventures, and they learn a bunch – about who their mom is and why she left, who the Black Panthers are and how they are supporting the community, and about how to stand up for who they are and what they believe. One Crazy Summer will get us thinking about family, justice, racism, first crushes, sister fights, and kinds of pressures oldest daughters feel to take care of their younger siblings.
