Cover Reveal of Between the Lines by Claudia Whitsitt

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.
