Product Description
My Year in the Middle
Author: Lila Quintero Weaver
Format: Paperback
Recommended for ages 8+
All sixth-grader Lu Olivera wants is to keep her head down and get along with everyone, but her old friends are changing, turning boy-crazy and mocking her new talent for running track. Lu hopes to befriend fellow runner Belinda Gresham, yet in 1970 in Red Grove, Alabama, black and white students don't mix.
As a bitter governor's election stirs up tensions across the state and inside her classroom, Lu finds she can no longer stay neutral about the racial divide at school. Will she find the courage to stand up for what's right and to choose friends who do the same?
