Book summaryIn this novel set in the American South during the Civil Rights era, a white girl named Belle Teal gets involved with the integration movement at her school. To further complicate matters, Belle must also deal with the fact that her grandmother's memory is failing. Named one of the Best Children's Books 2001 by Publishers Weekly. Media reviews"Martin writes with her usual accessibility, and the book effectively combined the ordinary details of everyday life with the larger issue of racism. Unfortunately, the plot is predictable...Still, this is an approachable piece of historical fiction that, despite its tendency toward wishful thinking, looks at the ugliness of racism without flinching." |
