On the night of a party celebrating his acceptance into Harvard, Harris Mizuno, a Japanese-American teenager, is shot dead by an elderly white man who mistakes him for an intruder when Harris asks to use the phone because his car has stalled. It's up to fifteen-year-old Terri Mizuno to take charge when her family falls apart in grief and anger over the tragic murder of her brother. Worse, the sleepy town of Whiteriver, Massachusetts, erupts into hatred, bigotry, and vigilantism. Even Terri's best friend cannot avoid taking sides for or against the frightened old man in the sensationalized court case that follows. As white supremacist groups descend on the town and attacks of hate graffiti, vandalism, and violence mount against Asian families, the threat of even more bloodshed emerges. Terri knows she must shine the light of reason and understanding on the torn community. And as she tries, she finds help in the most unexpected places.... Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Candle In The Wind is a great book. It teaches about forgiveness, family, bias, and the negativity of violence and hatred. The book is well written and very emotional. For these reasons, I give the book 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this bbok to those people who enjoy books that teach many lessons about everyday society. ( )
