Recensione:

A genuinely moving tale about the necessity to reach out to others, even when it's difficult” Kirkus Reviews

* Honest and moving . . . Preteens will relate to Belle Teal, whose observations provide an eye-popping introduction to social and personal injustice.” Publishers Weekly, starred review

You will love Belle, her mom, and Gran. This family of women knows how to raise a young one to stand up for what's right.” Book Sense Children's 76 Picks

Considerable child appeal and heart . . . a solid piece of work with an absorbing plot.” SLJ

With the same sincere and empathetic handling of grade-school life that made her Baby-sitters Club books so popular, Martin here deftly draws a more complicated portrait of a racially integrating fifth-grade class . . . The writing is graceful and easy, with Belle Teal's narration distinctly and convincingly evoked.” The Horn Book
