Chapters 19-21 of Rita Williams-Garcia's "One Crazy Summer" (2010)! Delphine learns about Li'l Bobby Hutton, decides she doesn't wanna go to the Center anymore, and makes a new cool friend! Vonetta and Fern have show biz dreams and plan their song and dance routine for the big Black Panther rally. Cecile is still scary. Jody presents a mini Special Report on Bobby Hutton's 1968 murder at the hands of the Oakland cops, and there are two two juicy Blume Head letters about childhood boom boxes, bratty brothers, and Freckle Juice experiments. Alison and Jody also chit chat about toddler toilet pranks, Fisher-Price policemen, and reminisce about the Weekend at Bernie's beachside mansion.
