The Liberation of Gabriel King is by K.L. Going. This is the tender historical fiction multi-cultural story of two 5th graders, one black and one white, growing up in 1976 Georgia. It is a story of family, friendship, strength, bravery, and standing up for what's right. Gabriel is afraid of everything, including bullies, his best friend Frita decides to help him find courage over the summer by facing each of his fears. A wonderful story, both heartwarming and funny.
Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
