Walking with Miss Millie

Walking with Miss Millie

â€œA memorable and lovely debut.â€--Kirkus Reviews
Â
â€œWalking with Miss MillieÂ is full of subtle wisdom. Its ending is satisfyingÂ though sobering and there are elements of this story that stay with you long after the last page has been read.â€--Karen English, Coretta Scott King Honor Award Author

A poignant middle grade debut about the friendship between a white girl and an elderly black woman in the 1960s South
Â
Alice is angry at having to move to Rainbow, Georgiaâ€”a too small, too hot, dried-up place sheâ€™s sure will never feel like home. Then she gets put in charge of walking her elderly neighborâ€™s dog. But Clarence wonâ€™t budge without Miss Millie, so Alice and Miss Millie walk him together.

StrollingÂ with Clarence and Miss Millie quickly becomes the highlight of Alice's day and opens her eyes to all sorts of new things to marvel over. During their walks, theyÂ meet a mix of people, and Alice sees that although there are some bullies and phonies, there are plenty of kind folks, too. Miss Millie shares her familyâ€™s story with Alice, showing her the painful impact segregation has had on their town. And with Miss Millie, Alice is finally able to express her own heartache over why her family had to move there in the first place.

Tamara Bundyâ€™s beautifully written debut celebrates the wonder and power of friendship: how it can be found when we least expect it and make any place a home.
