Bird in a Box by Andrea Davis Pinkney
4.0
Hibernia is the daughter of a preacher who has big dreams of being a singer. Willie has what it takes to be a boxer, but issues with his father are preventing it. Otis just lost both his parents and is struggling to deal with that loss. While they may not seem like they have much in common it is the boxer Joe Louis and the Mercy Home for Negro Orphans that draws them together in upstate New York.
Set in the Great Depression and meticulously researched by Davis Pinkney this quiet story comes to life with the use of three narrators to portray the children. It's a lovely and lively audio production that also includes an afterword read by the author.
