While Martha undoubtedly would have been going through a lot in her all-white school, I can imagine that it was probably more emotionally traumatizing for her to be rejected by your own people for joining a white school; they must have seen her as a sellout of some sort. Either way, this sounds like an entertaining book as well as a useful tool in the discussion of race and race relations for kids.

Although this book isn’t my style of subject matter, I can see it’s appeal. True stories that make a difference make some of the best books in the world. It’s great that it is so well-written. Thanks for a great review!
