About the book

Gone Crazy in Alabama

The Coretta Scott King Award–winning Gone Crazy in Alabama by Newbery Honor and New York Times bestselling author Rita Williams-Garcia tells the story of the Gaither sisters as they travel from the streets of Brooklyn to the rural South for the summer of a lifetime.

Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern are off to Alabama to visit their grandmother Big Ma and her mother, Ma Charles. Across the way lives Ma Charles’s half sister, Miss Trotter. The two half sisters haven’t spoken in years. As Delphine hears about her family history, she uncovers the surprising truth that’s been keeping the sisters apart. But when tragedy strikes, Delphine discovers that the bonds of family run deeper than she ever knew possible.

Powerful and humorous, this companion to the award-winning One Crazy Summer and P.S. Be Eleven will be enjoyed by fans of the first two books, as well as by readers meeting these memorable sisters for the first time.

Readers who enjoy Christopher Paul Curtis's The Watsons Go to Birmingham and
Jacqueline Woodson’s Brown
Girl Dreaming 
will find much to love in this book. Rita
Williams-Garcia's books about Delphine,
Vonetta, and Fern can also be read alongside nonfiction explorations of
American history such as Jason Reynolds's and Ibram X. Kendi's books.

Each
humorous, unforgettable story in this trilogy follows the sisters as they grow
up during one of the most tumultuous eras in recent American history, the
1960s. Read the adventures of eleven-year-old Delphine and her younger sisters,
Vonetta and Fern, as they visit their kin all over the rapidly changing
nation—and as they discover that the bonds of family, and their own strength,
run deeper than they ever knew possible.




“The
Gaither sisters are an irresistible trio. Williams-Garcia excels at conveying
defining moments of American society from their point of view
