Title:  Reaching Dustin
Author:  Vicki Grove
Reviewer:   JDW '09
Carly Cameron lives in a small Missouri farming community. Everyone in her family and community hates the Groat family.  They are Confederates from the Civil War and they don't like anyone who isn't a Confederate.  The Groats keep a lot of army guns because they believe that war is coming any day.  No one at school likes Dustin Groat.  But when Carly draws his name for an interview, it changes everything.  At first he doesn't seem any better than the rest of his family, but the more she learns about his background and the tragic truth about his mother, she finds out that Dustin's only crime is being born into the wrong family.
