Title: extraordinary
Review: Every child explores these issues about himself or herself -- How am I a part of my culture? How can I make a change for the better? Is it more important to be accepted or to be exceptional? What is our duty to our parents/our friends/our ideas/our ideals?"New Boy" looks at these universal issues, but looks at them at a pinpoint of time, place, and culture that brings them life and energy apart from the basic issues. The beginning of the Civil Rights movement is presented as confusing, exciting, and frightening. Almost every character in the story has input into these three responses.Open-ended book that leaves room for discussion and writing assignments and research.Parents may want to read "The Race Card"The Race Card: How Bluffing About Bias Makes Race Relations Worsein conjunction with this book. The two track very closely.Extraordinary book; a hero for children to emulate.
