Personal & social issues

Bryant takes on the thrill and horror of the Lindbergh baby trial and weaves it into compelling fiction--in free verse. Good fit for American history curriculum, and the voice will appeal directly to middle graders. The author did assiduous research, including reviewing original trial transcripts. The hardcover made a splash in 2004 and was named a Book Sense 76 Selection, a Borders Original Voices Selection, and a Junior Library Guild Selection.

Imagine you are Bruno Richard Hauptmann, accused of murdering the son of the most famous man in America.

In a compelling, immediate voice, 12-year-old Katie Leigh Flynn takes us inside the courtroom of the most widely publicized criminal case of the 20th century- the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's baby son. And in doing so, she reveals the real-life figures of the trial-the accused, the lawyers, the grieving parents-and the many faces of justice.

Reviews for The Trial

As Katie says, 'When a man's on trial for his life/isn't every word important?' Bryant shows why with art and humanity. Extraordinary. <br>-Michael Cart, Booklist, Starred
