A short middle grade imagining of the childhoods of Truman Capote and Harper Lee. I‘m glad I finally got to this one.

This is listed as middle grade/young adult I think because of the age of the characters but what lover of To Kill a Mockingbird wouldn‘t want to read the fictional adventures of young Truman Capote and Harper Lee?

As a huge fan of Truman Capote, I really loved the first Tru & Nelle story, which is based on the lives of childhood best friends Truman Capote and Harper Lee. This Christmas story takes place a few years after the first, when they‘re 12-13 years old and Truman has run away from military school to his family in Alabama. A good glimpse of the depression and racism in the 1930s, I would highly recommend this to fans of Truman and Harper Lee. 4⭐️

MinDea Oohhh! Thanks for the heads up on this one! Sounds great! 6y
