Dreamland Burning

Summary: When a skeleton is uncovered in the Chase family's Tulsa backyard, seventeen-year-old Rowan decides to investigate. With the help of her best friend, James, she starts to put together the pieces of a compelling story that took place in 1921, around the time of the Tulsa race massacre. The chapters of the novel alternate between the points of view of Rowan and Will Turner, who was living in Tulsa in 1921 and was, in ways that Rowan will slowly uncover, connected to the story that she is uncovering. This is an incredibly captivating and, I think, important novel.
