Augusta Scattergood is at the top of my debut-authors-to-watch list."-Barbara O'Connor, Parents' Choice Award-winning author of HOW TO STEAL A DOG"In Glory herself, tilting on the threshold of adolescence, Scattergood paints a balanced portrait of childlike selfinterest and awakening integrity. All mixed together and beautifully recalled."-Richard Peck, Newbery Award-winning author of A YEAR DOWN YONDER"GLORY BE is a lovely debut novel for younger readers, akin to Kathryn Stockett's THE HELP-an important read that raises powerful racial issues of the 1960s American South."-Kathryn Erskine, National Book Award-winning author of MOCKINGBIRDGLORY BE weaves a seamless story of sisterly love, broken friendships, and the strength that it takes to stand up for the right thing.
