A new girl, Liz, is assigned to be her partner on a big project, and Liz is everything Marlee is not – confident, outgoing, and talkative. Marlee’s school year, though, starts out quite well. Marlee’s school isn’t affected, since the state hasn’t yet integrated junior highs and thus there are no black children to keep out. Both of Marlee’s parents are high school teachers and they must attend, even though there won’t be any students. On the eve of school’s beginning, though, the Governor announces that all the high schools will be closed. Marlee is extremely shy – so much so that she really never speaks at school at all – and she’s nervous about a new year of junior high. the lions of little rock by kristin levineĪnd this is where The Lions of Little Rock takes place. What I didn’t know anything about was “The Lost Year” which took place the following school year when the Governor, furious still at being overridden by the President and determined not to let black and white students attend schools together, closed all the public high schools for the entire year. I was familiar, of course, with the story of the Little Rock Nine – the nine black children who integrate in the high schools of Little Rock Arkansas and the public (and the Governor, who had the state National Guard on his side) was so deeply opposed to it that President Eisenhower has to send in federal troops to get the students into school. The Best Bad Luck I Ever Had is set in a general period of race conflict in the American South, where The Lions of Little Rock deals with a specific historical event. So when The Lions of Little Rock arrived – a second Kristin Levine book – I read it almost immediately.
