In the desegregation era of the 1970s, a first grader copes with being bused to a white school in this story for young children about racism and an essential time of change. "One of the Ten Best Books of the Year," The New York Times.

Brewster winds up spending his first day in detention at the library. But there he meets a very special person: Miss O'Grady.

This is an invaluable, unique, view into a tumultous time and the good that came into the lives of school children.
