Acerca de esta escucha
The 1950's teenagers are often called the “do-nothing” generation. Consumed by their cars, poodle skirts, and dance parties, they appear to be an unconcerned lot. However, their seemingly nonchalant, selfish lives had more to do with lack of awareness than lack of caring. Many, when confronted with the truth about racial inequality, became activists in civil rights issues - sometimes, with tragic results.
Now, in the 21st century, the struggle continues.
Bobbie doesn’t believe the Southern attitude toward people of color applies to her Northern world. Phillis lived in Mississippi and endured the worst effects of racial hatred, generating a mind filled with fear, distrust, bitterness, and anger. Friends when they were 5 years old, the two reunite in a late 1950s Long Island high school.
Phillis must convince Bobbie to confront the reality of racism in their community, even as they fight for the right to be friends. With humor and drama, Phillis, Bobbie, and a diverse group of teenagers wage battle to change their corner of the world.
At first, they succeed. They share high school highs and lows and first romances. Their euphoric lives collapse when officials accuse Phillis of arson. A riot ensues, and police arrive, guns drawn. They must expose the true culprits and clear Phillis’s name before she faces undeserved years in prison.

Fifteen-year-old Rae Maddox’s mom, Gina, is a big fan of fresh starts. Gina thinks of them as an adventure, but for Rae, each move is just one more friend lost, one more chance to feel like an outsider.

Cautiously optimistic, she wades into the social whirl at Whitman High School, making a few friends and even earning a chance at love. But when the vice principal pairs her with fellow newbie Allison Daly, Rae’s tentative happiness is jeopardized.

She has tiffs with her too-critical mother, a crush on her cute psychologist, and worries that her only friend - fellow outcast Abigail - is morphing into a popular girl, leaving her behind. But Maggie has a few not-so-ordinary problems. A voice in her head is telling her to kill. And not just anyone. Each time the target is a person who has done something terrible to someone Maggie cares for. You know what you have to do, the voice commands.

Too bad Piddy doesn’t even know who Yaqui Delgado is, let alone what she’s done to piss her off. All Piddy knows is that Yaqui hates her - and she better watch her back because Yaqui isn’t kidding. At first Piddy just focuses on trying to find out more about the father she’s never met and how to balance honors courses with her job at the neighborhood hair salon. But as the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui starts to take over Piddy’s life.

A timely topic for us all
This would be a perfect reading assignment for middle schoolers to include round table discussions afterwards. So well written that it took me right back to that age and our similar antics. However, we never considered race issues during that era. The time is finally ripe today. What took us so long?
