NOTES
A National Book Award nominee in 1975, Ludell is the first book in a groundbreaking trilogy about a young African American girl growing up during the 1950s in a small Georgia town. Ludell Wilson is a wisecracking bookworm and burgeoning writer who adores her best friend Ruthie Mae, her loving--but strict--grandmother, and everything about growing up. (Including her first pair of blue jeans, and her first boyfriend.)But in the still-segregated South, Ludell's warm community exists side-by-side with poverty and injustice. Wilkinson's bold, funny narrator, whose story continues in Ludell and Willie and Ludell's New York Time, shows us an America that is also changing--just not fast enough
