Full Cicada Moon
by Marilyn Hilton
When aspiring astronaut Mimi moves from California to Vermont in 1969, the 7th grader encounters a very different place than what she left behind. As she fights to fit into her new town and school, many of the people she meets react to her mixed heritage with questions, confusion, bigotry, and suspicion. As much as Mimi wants to fit in, her determined personality and love of science continue to make her stand out to everyone she meets. Will the strong willed Mimi find a way to fit in without having to sacrifice everything she believes in?
This inspiring historical fiction is a wonderful story of staying true to oneself. The narrator, Mimi, demonstrates incredible strength and determination as she works to achieve her goals. This was one of those books that, when I started reading it, I simply could not put down until I finished it!
