L.A.'s racial complexity
comes clear in this yarn about Jackie Ishida, a Japanese-American law
school student whose efforts to fulfill a request in her late
grandfather's will lead her to the unsolved, 1965 murders of four black
teenagers. As Jackie pieces together the facts of those long-ago
deaths, she also risks exposing her family's carefully guarded secrets.
Do you have a book club that needs a place to
meet or would you like to start a new group? Talk to Harriett about getting on
the calendar.

the Bookseller Selection of the month
G223:
girl
who helps lion and swallows a bee
I read this book in New Zealand in 1962 or
1963, so it's probably British. I don't know whether it was published
in
the 20th century or earlier (I was only five when I read it). A little
girl meets up with a lion who has injured itself with, I think, a can
opener.
She helps it out. In another incident, she swallows a bee and is
so startled she falls into a pond,
where she finds an upside-down world.
I can't remember whether this is a single story or a chapter book.
