Revolution by Deborah Wiles

It’s 1964, and Freedom Summer has come to Greenwood, Mississippi. For twelve-year-old Sunny, life is supposed to be simple — until outsiders arrive to register Black voters, and her quiet town becomes the center of a national storm. As tensions rise, Sunny’s world collides with that of Ray, a boy from the other side of the tracks, forcing her to confront prejudice, courage, and change.

Blending fiction with real-life photographs and historical documents, Revolution brings the civil rights era to life with emotional clarity and authenticity. Deborah Wiles captures a nation — and a generation — on the brink of transformation.
