Book description: London: Victor Gollancz. Very Good+/Near Fine. 1989. First UK Edition. Hardback. 0575045698 Super-intelligent Carl Davis the Third has always been on good terms with his parents, so he cannot understand his mother's decision to send him away from home. Worse still, he has been packed off to his grandmother's small, prejudiced southern town, far removed from the cosmopolitan bustle of New York. He knows he is being punished - but what is his crime?... Rosa Guy's novel explores themes of race and status, trust and betrayal in a moving story of one boy's developing awareness of a wider, and sometimes frightening, world. A nice clean copy in Very Good+ condition in a Near Fine dust-jacket; jacket is in loose protective cover. .
