I have very mixed feelings about this book. I liked the protagonist, 11 year old, Delphine, and her sisters, Vonetta and Fern very much. The time and place - Oakland 1968 intrigued me, too, but I had a hard time getting past the whole situation - 3 little girls sent all the way across the continent by themselves to spend the summer with a mother who left them when the youngest was still a nursling, and who in no way wants to see them now. Was life really that much different then than it is now? Would the father and grandmother really send them off alone with no warning, no preparation, no back-up plan - and then not check up on them for the whole summer? Hard to believe - if the reader is also to believe that this family (aside from the absent mother, of course) is a close and loving one. Belief is harder still considering the political and racial climate of the times, and the fact that the story takes place in Oakland - which was then a literal hotbed. All that aside, it's an interesting look into the Black Panthers' ways of politicizing the youngest recruits and, peripherally, the dangers to which they were exposed, as well as the loving relationship between sisters. I'm not entirely sure what the author's goal is here since I don't know that the target audience would even pick up on the dangers these children were skirting, or even understand what was really going on. If her aim was to tell a readable story about sisters - then she nailed it. Otherwise, maybe not so much. It should be noted though: someone who lived through those times is not the author's target audience.
