Glory+Be

by Augusta Scattergood Scholastic Press 2012

It’s 1964, the summer she will turn 12, and Glory can’t wait for the community pool to open so she can spend her days swimming. While her small town in Mississippi is deciding if the pool will actually open, Glory struggles with her sister not having time for her and a new friend from up north who is teaching her that things are not always as they seem.
