5.0

This novelization of Edward Peple's play of the same name was the basis for a popular 1935 film starring Shirley Temple. The Littlest Rebel offers a glimpse inside the lives of affluent Southerners on the brink of the Civil War, with empathy for the tribulations faced by an upper class trying to navigate the conflict and its implications for their time-honored way of life.
