Zora's Wild Imagination

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!
