Mrs. Pritch and I have chosen the novel Ghost Boys, by Jewell Parker Rhodes, for our parent/student book club because not only will it hold the interest of both children and adults, but it will surely lead to an in-depth discussion of some of the issues faced by police today and African Americans have faced throughout history. Ms. Rhodes sensitively deals with the aftermath of the tragic shooting death of an African American child that occurs while he is playing with a toy gun. Not only does the reader experience the anguish of his family, but Ms. Rhodes portrays the effects on the officer's family, as well. Ms. Rhodes also enlightens the reader on the fate of Emmet Till, a 14-year old child brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955. His death was one of the catalysts of the civil rights movement in the United States. After our book club event, these books will be added to our classroom library, so our students who were unable to participate in the parent club will also have the chance to read the novel. These books will be available for our future students, as well.
