Bestselling author and Coretta Scott King Award winner Andrea Davis
Pinkney presents a moving fictional account of school desegregation
in the Civil Rights Era. Twelve-year-old Dawnie Rae Johnson's life
turns upside down after the Supreme Court rules in favor of
desegregation in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education. Her
parents decide that Dawnie will attend Prettyman Coburn, a
previously all-white school -- but she'll be the only one of her
friends to enroll in this new school.Not everyone in Dawnie's town
of Hadley, Virginia, supports integration, though, and much of the
community is outraged by the decision. As she starts school, Dawnie
encounters the harsh realities of racism. But the backlash against
her arrival at Prettyman Coburn is more than she's prepared for,
and she begins to wonder if the hardship is worth it. Will Dawnie
be able to hold on to the true meaning of justice and remain
faithful to her own sense of integrity?
