<p>We are a family on a journey to a place called wonderful is the motto of Deza Malone's family. Deza is the smartest girl in her class in Gary, Indiana, singled out by teachers for a special path in life. But it's 1936 and the Great Depression has hit Gary hard, and there are no jobs for black men. When her beloved father leaves to find work, Deza, Mother, and her older brother, Jimmie, go in search of him, and end up in a Hooverville outside Flint, Michigan. Jimmie's beautiful voice inspires him to leave the camp to be a performer, while Deza and Mother find a new home, and cling to the hope that they will find Father. The twists and turns of their story reveal the devastation of the Depression and prove that Deza truly is the Mighty Miss Malone.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Christopher Paul Curtis<br><b>Publisher:</b> Yearling Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/12/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.75d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780440422143<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.7<br><b>Point Value:</b> 10<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>148755 / Mighty Miss Malone<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>CHRISTOPHER PAUL CURTIS is the bestselling author of <i>Bud, Not Buddy, </i> winner of the Newbery Medal and the Coretta Scott King Medal, among many other honors.
