Book Review: The Minstrel's Melody"Tate spins an enjoyable story that effectively portrays both the trials of a musically gifted child and the difficulties faced by African Americans in a largely segregated society. A "Peek Into the Past" chapter provides added background on the novel's 1904 Missouri setting. A smooth weave of entertainment and information."--Denise Wilms, BooklistBook Review: The Minstrel's Melody"Tate creates a strong sense of community, both in Orphelia's hometown and among the members of the minstrel troupe. Historical elements, such as the use of blackface in theater, are woven almost seamlessly into the narrative. The appendix offers additional insight into the history of minstrel shows, music, and African-American life in the early 1900s. A good read for any fan of historical fiction."--Robin L. Gibson, Perry County District Library, New Lexington, OH, School Library Journal

    The camera arrived in a decent amount of time. It was packed with care. It arrived looking as described with all the accessories. However, once I put the batteries in although it turned on, sadly, the shutter didn’t work. It cannot take pictures due to a broken shutter. I reached out to the seller a couple of times but no response. I filed a defective item return with eBay. I was happy to find out it was a free return. That’s great customer service right there.
