Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The time is 1968. The place is Montgomery, Alabama. The story is
one of resilience in the face of discrimination and bullying. Using
the racially charged word "Negro," two Caucasian boys repeatedly
bully Miss Annie Loomis--the first African-American teacher at the
all-white Wyatt Elementary School. At the same time, using the
hateful word “harelip,” the boys repeatedly bully Miss
Loomis’s eleven-year-old Caucasian student, Lisa Parker, who was
born with cleft palate and cleft lip. Who will best the bullies?
Only Lisa’s mood ring knows for sure.
