An Authentic Voice for Older Adolescents and Adults

In this sequel to "The Legend of Buddy Bush," the Coretta Scott King Award winner and National Book Award finalist, young Pattie Mae goes to Harlem to visit her sister and look for her uncle Buddy. Wrongly accused of raping a white woman, Buddy narrowly escaped a lynching in 1947. Now, Pattie Mae wants him to come home and vindicate himself. An authentic, fictional voice about historical events, for older adolescents and adults.

Like "The Legend of Buddy Bush" this book is wonderful.

I read "The Legend of Buddy Bush" and I was happy when the sequel was released. This book is equally a great book for people of all ages. I can not wait for a third sequel.
