Synopsis:

Friendship and coping with racism are at the heart of this compelling middle grade novel set in 1917 Alabama. Thrilled to hear that the new postmaster has a son his age, 12-year-old Dit is bitterly disappointed when the boy is actually Emma, a prissy girl from Boston. That she's black doesn't matter much to him, and although they are very different, the two become close friends over a long summer. When the racist town sheriff sets something terrible in motion, the pair decides to take action, no matter what the consequences. Well-written, moving, and populated with realistic, appealing characters, this first book by Kristen Levine is a gripping read.
