Stella by Starlight

Our last Mother Daughter Book Club book was called Stella by Starlight. It was about a girl named Stella who isn't good at writing and experiences the Klan at times. It takes place a very long time ago, when black and white people were segregated. One of the most surprising parts of the book was when Stella was taking a walk outside at night and she heard a screaming noise coming from a lake, so she went in and something grabbed her. She pulled it to the surface and then looked at it. It was Dr. Packards daughter, Paulette. The worst and most scariest three parts were when Tony got beat up, when the Spencers' house got burned down by Klansmen, and when Stella's mother got bit by a poisonous snake. My favorite part was when Ms. Spencer gave Stella and her little brother, Jojo, tons of gifts. And the silliest part of the book was when Stella's school had the Christmas Pageant. I think that even though Stella had rough times, she still had a good life. I really loved this book, every time I finished a chapter, I was eager to read the next. I think that people should read this book, because once they read the book, the will have learned some very helpful and interesting lessons...
