Description
Denise Lewis Patrick, you’ve done it again! In the second Melody book, our main girl takes on a number of new challenges. In addition to becoming a backup singer, Melody has decided to renovate a community park and participate in a boycott. We follow Melody and her family through the summer of 1964 and consider how her story sheds new light on a key moment in American history. We also learn that this backup vocalist has amazing main-character energy.
