Julie’s father decided to leave the ministry after several difficult ministries. He buys a small town newspaper and becomes the Editor. It soon becomes evident that certain people in the community have all the power and aren’t making decisions that are good for the community. Not only that, but they expect the paper to print only good articles about them. Caught in the middle, Julie’s family must decide to what extent they are willing to stand up to them.
Those who like Marshall’s Christy will like Julie. It covers small town life during the depression and what it was like in an industrial village. It is also easy to read and can be read in late elementary school.
