Claudia Whitsitt's book Between the Lines will be released on March 20th, and I'm happy to share the cover reveal for her middle grades historical fiction with you.
Between the Lines tells the story of three girls who become friends during the racially-charged aftermath of the 1967 Detroit Riots.
Hattie Percha is crushed when the riots start on her tenth birthday, and when she must move away from her treasured childhood home and friends, attending public school for the first time, she’s afraid her life is over. Then, she meets Beverly Jo Nichols, her first black friend, and Crackers, a fearless tomboy. Despite opposition from Hattie’s mother and a racist teacher, the threesome joins forces. As the self-proclaimed Dream Girls, they challenge bigotry and intolerance, willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto what’s most precious to them all, their friendship.
Claudia Whitsitt was a teacher before she became an author. She loves children and smiles every time someone reads one of her books.

My 5 star review of this wonderful story
In this 5 star read Ms. Whitsitt introduces us to an unlikely trio that will embed themselves in your heart and never leave. This is a story of love and friendship that I would highly recommend to young and old.
When shots are fired and riots break out in Hattie's Detroit neighborhood her parents make the decision to move to a safer area. Hattie is saddened when she finds out she has to leave her friends and school behind. In the new neighborhood she will attend public school where she meets two strong amazing girls a-lot like herself. This trio will form a friendship we all wish we were lucky enough to be part of.
My daughter and I read this book together and loved it. It is a story that will stay with both of us for many years to come!
