This was a great book I read over the summer. I do like historical fiction so I am biased towards this book. It is about a girl living in Little Rock during the time of school segration but now the first black students are being admitted to the school. What makes this book feel real is that her parents don't agree on whether African American students should come to the white schools. The parents disagree and argue about it even as both work in the public schools.  The character in the story goes on to befriend a girl who happens to be black although she is passing herself off as white to attend their school. Marlee, the main character struggles socially but manages to become good friends with this new girl. There are a lot of issues going on in this book, racial issues, social anxiety and sibling rivalry which also makes this is intriguing book.
