First of all, her parents can''t stop fighting - and they decide to move the family to a totally new apartment, in a totally new part of town, which means a totally new middle school for Stevie. On top of that, her best friend, Jennifer, is acting weirdShe won''t return Stevie''s phone calls, and apparently her new best friends are a bunch of mean girls. The final straw comes with the arrival of Stevie''s teenage cousin Naomi - sent down in disgrace from Boston (though no one will tell Stevie why). But with Naomi comes an exciting glimpse of a world Stevie hasn''t paid much attention to before: one of Cleopatra Jones movies, women''s liberation and an intriguing-sounding group called the Black Panthers. It might not be the year Stevie anticipatedBut it will be the one that changes her life forever. Praise for How High the Moon: "Essential reading, full of voices that must be heard.
