SEQUEL TO AWARD WINNING NOVEL RELEASED
The Feester Filibuster, sequel
to award-winning Oklahoma children’s writer Molly Levite Griffis’s young adult novel, The Rachel Resistance, was released last year at the National Booksellers Association convention. In 2002, The Rachel Resistance won the prestigious Oklahoma Book Award presented by the Oklahoma Center for the Book in the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. This book was also chosen for the Master List for the Volunteer Award in Tennessee to be presented next year.
A story of life in Oklahoma during the first year of World War II, The Feester Filibuster,
like Ms. Griffis’ other books, is set in 1942 in the small Caddo County town of Apache.
Rationing, war bonds, scrap drives, gasoline-saving speed limits, blue star flags in the windows…all the elements that marked the lives of those who were growing up during the war years are portrayed in this remarkably detailed portrait of small town life. The American Legion Hut, hub of all the town’s activities, is the place to be for everything from Girl Scout meetings to bandage rolling for the American Red Cross.
The book is available from
bookstores or directly from the publisher, Eakin Press of Austin, Texas, at 1-800-880-8642. Autographed copies may be ordered from the author by calling Levite of Apache, 405-366-6442.
