Review Detail

Reader reviewed by PeaceChik

I Love this book! I love how it deals with real, serious isssues of the day and makes it funny at the same time.

There's a white boy named Gabriel. He lives in Georgia in 1976, the year of the bicentineal. His friend Frita, is the only black girl in the class. Frita thinks Gabe is too scarred of things. He's scarred of 5th grade 5th graders and Frita's big brother. but Frita never shows Gabe the list of what SHE"s afraid of and whan Gabe finds out that's the turning part of the story.
I read this book in 5th grade and Ive loved it ever since.
