Krone subtly weaves what it means to be in solidarity with others while passively or non-violently resisting injustice into a story that tackles the main characters fear of being ripped away from the only family she can remember, dealing with bullies at school, and fighting to keep the house thats been in her foster family for generations. Touches on themes of Alzheimers disease, poverty, foster families, mixed-race and bi-cultural families, the history of Gandhi in South Africa, and collective action against injustice. This is Bridget Krones debut novel. Simultaneous release of hardback and paperback.</p>...(*_*)9781946395504_<p>Named a Best Middle-Grade Book of 2020 by <em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><p>2021 Outstanding International Books List, United States Board on Books for Young People</p><p>Mercy lives in modern-day Pietermaritzburg, South Africa with her eccentric foster auntstwo elderly sisters so poor, they can only afford one lightbulb.
