Come Juneteenth (Great Episodes)
by Ann Rinaldi

I LOVED Ann Rinaldi. One book to think of that I read when I was younger was The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. One of the main characters is white, but there are also Native Americans and a couple from South America. There is a slight mention of sexual abuse, but it is minor. I just realized there was a sequel and am just finishing it.
Maybe someone else should chime in on if this is acceptable for a 10 year old. I read just about everything my hands were on whether it was appropriate or not.
