It’s about a little girl named Christy, and her friend Kira. Kira lives in a bad neighborhood and her parents want to move. Christy suggests the house next door, and it happens. But neighbors are not happy with Kira’s family moving into their neighborhood, as Kira and her family are Black. They are mistreated and even have their property harmed, plus other neighbors move out. Unfortunately, things like this did and do still happen. “Not in my backyard” as the saying goes. There is no reason for this book to be banned. I could see a “problematic” label, as Chrissy and her family act as “white saviors” for the new family in the neighborhood. However, why hide reality from kids. Let them see it in books so they learn and grow, and we can avoid these situations in the real world. ( ) This book is about a white girl who is best friends with an African American girl and her and her family move in down the street and all the neighbors are mean to the new family and their prejudices cause them to do horrible things to the family until the African American family decided to move again. The friend does not know why people are being so mean to her friends family just because they look different. The girls do not want to be split up and convince their families to stand up to the other families on the block and show that they will never move. The other people move but the girls stay put and stay friends despite the prejudices. This historical fiction novel talks about real stories of prejudice that probably happened in many neighborhoods at the time. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
