In Zora’s
mind, it’s all imagination! From neighbors with gator heads, to Gator Kings, Zora’s
imagination takes her and her friends on a mysterious adventure. In the book Zora and Me, Zora and her friends Carrie
and Teddy hear about strange happenings occurring around the town’s favorite swimming
hole, and they are determined to get to the bottom of this gator business.
This incredible mystery was our book club book for Black History Month.
The book was most interesting because it was set in Florida, so I really got to
compare how Florida used to be to how it is now. When we came together for
discussion, our book club mostly talked about the differences between last
months’ book, Stella by Starlight,
and Zora and Me. One of the
differences was that Zora’s life was a lot easier than the characters in the
other book because Zora lived in a town with a population of only African Americans,
which reduced racial conflicts. I hope
you decide to read Zora and Me, and
that you enjoy it as much as I did!
