  The Plagiarist From Rigel IV by Evan Hunter - Writing stories was hard work—unless Fred had a typewriter like "Reggie" that could write by itself! Nonsense? Fred agreed until he met— THE PLAGIARIST FROM RIGEL IV 
  I bought the typewriter in a pawn shop on Third Avenue. 
  The pawn shop proprietor was a balding old man with a walrus mustache. 
  "How much?" I asked him. 
  "Five dollars," he said casually. 
  I glanced at him skeptically. The machine was a Remington Noiseless, with italics, probably worth a little over a hundred new, and it couldn't have been more than a year or two old. 
  "How much?" I asked. 
  "Five dollars, is what I said. Five." He held up the fingers of his widespread hand. "Five. One-two-three...." 
  "What's wrong with it?" I asked suspiciously. 
  The old man shrugged. "Something has to be wrong with it? Listen, young man, don't look a gift horse in the mouth." 
  "How come it's so cheap?" 
  The old man sighed deeply. "You try to do a favor, you get all kinds of questions. Would you feel happier if I charged you fifty-five dollars?" 
  "I wouldn't pay fifty-five dollars. I haven't got that much money." 
  "Have you got five dollars? Can you pay that much?" 
  "Yes. But...." 
  "All right, take the machine. A case goes with it. Believe me, young man, this is a bargain." 
  "Five dollars?" I asked again. 
  "Five dollars. You want it? Yes or no? I got other things to do." 
  "I'll take it." 
  The old man smiled. "Good, you'll never regret it." 
  He slid the machine off the counter and put it into its case. He snapped the case shut then, locked it, and handed me the two keys.

  Booklist starred review 
  Black activist Opal Lee had a vision of Juneteenth as a holiday for everyone. This true story celebrates Black joy and inspires children to see their dreams blossom. Growing up in Texas, Opal knew the history of Juneteenth, but she soon discovered that many Americans had never heard of the holiday. Join Opal on her historic journey to recognize and celebrate "freedom for all." 
  Every year, Opal looked forward to the Juneteenth picnic—a drumming, dancing, delicious party. She knew from Granddaddy Zak's stories that Juneteenth celebrated the day the freedom news of President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation finally sailed into Texas in 1865—over two years after the president had declared it! But Opal didn't always see freedom in her Texas town. Then one Juneteenth day when Opal was twelve years old, an angry crowd burned down her brand-new home. This wasn't freedom at all. She had to do something! But could one person’s voice make a difference? Could Opal bring about national recognition of Juneteenth? Follow Opal Lee as she fights to improve the future by honoring the past. 
  Through the story of Opal Lee's determination and persistence, children ages 4 to 8 will learn:all people are created equalthe power of bravery and using your voice for changethe history of Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, and what it means todayno one is free unless everyone is freefighting for a dream is worth the difficulty experienced along the way 
  Featuring the illustrations of New York Times bestselling illustrator Keturah A. Bobo (I am Enough), Opal Lee and What It Means to Be Free by Alice Faye Duncan celebrates the life and legacy of a modern-day Black leader while sharing a message of hope, unity, joy, and strength.
