Stella by Starlight Listen to this historical fiction book that tells the story of an 11-year-old African-American girl living in the small town of Bumblebee, North Carolina in 1932. Stella comes from a hard-working family, whose community are shaken after the Klu Klux Klan reemerges in their community during the Great Depression. The novel follows Stella over the course of several months as she struggles to maintain hope and to pursue her dreams of becoming a journalist amidst the complex and oppressive world in which she lives.  The  ”N” word has been used in few places due the time period. We know that Addison students understand that it should not be used or repeated.
