[a nice copy, the only blemish being a tiny black scuff mark on bottom edge of front cover; jacket shows only light handling wear]. Juvenile fiction with an African-American theme. "Ella and her great-uncle Buddy are movie fanatics, so Ella is naturally overcome with curiosity when her uncle receives a mysterious trunk from a famous black film actress -- especially when it turns out that the trunk is full of dusty old film reels. But Uncle Buddy won't let Ella look at them or even talk to her about how he knew Ella DuChamps, the film actress after whom Ella is named. Desperate to know the secrets the trunk can reveal, Ella disobeys her uncle and pries into the past. What she finally discovers is a disturbing chapter in African American history, one in which her unlce -- and the movies -- play a major part." A novelization of a 1992 PBS "WonderWorks" telefeature starring Tim Reid, Vonetta McGee and Robert Guillaume.
