How 3 girls befriend an other girl who has a very different life then them and how that changes all of their lives ( ) Set just before World War II in Messina, California, the growing threat of Hitler is really more a backdrop to the central drama of this book, which concerns child molestation. The protagonist, 12-year-old Angie, and her friends are uncomfortable with a man, Jefferson Clement, whom many adults seem to admire. They catch him spying through binoculars while they're in their bathing suits. Another time, someone tries to break into the girls' tent during a backyard camp-out. It's dark, but Angie thinks she recognizes Clement's distinct walk, and she also smells his aftershave. Finally, Dodie Crumper, a girl of Angie's age, shares with Angie that Clement wants to put his hands on her where he oughtn't. Through the themes in her book, the author makes comparison between Jefferson Clement and Hitler; each is a symbol of evil. When the Crickets Stopped Singing was a 2018 selection of the Junior Library Guild. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Set in the summer of 1939, this historical novel for readers aged 10-14 tells the story of a young girl who finds the strength to defy the social norms of her community when a dangerous man poses a threat to a friend. Twelve-year-old Angie Wallace and her friends embark on a quest to "love thy neighbor," which includes newcomer Jefferson Clement. But soon the girls begin to suspect that he's a dangerous man, even if the adults refuse to see it. Like Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters in this book must explore the nature of truth and justice as Angie struggles to stand up for what she knows is right.--Amazon.com.
