When a racially mixed family moves into an all-white neighborhood in East Hartford, Connecticut<\/a>, in 1961, lives are altered forever. Karl Luntta’s\u00a0Know It by Heart\u00a0<\/em>follows the adventures of young Dub Teed, his sister Susan and neighbor Doug Hammer, who befriend newly arrived Ricky Dubois, the daughter of an African-American woman and her white husband. When burning crosses appear at night-and worse-the young adolescents set out to find justice and discover themselves in the process.<\/p>\n

Despite the book’s serious anti-racist theme,\u00a0Know It by Heart\u00a0<\/em>is filled with humor reminiscent of Mark Twain<\/a>. In this suspenseful novel, Karl Luntta brilliantly captures the world of the young adolescent in his characters and dialogue and in the innate comedy and awkwardness of that age. This is a book that will appeal to parents and teenagers alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
