Belle Teal's mother is constantly going from one job to another, her grandmother is losing her memory, she doesn't have much money, and her school is going through a big change by opening their doors to a few black families. This book has a good message and is also fun to read. (  ) 4sarad | Oct 19, 2008 |  In 1962, Belle Teal is starting fifth grade. Her school is being integrated for the first time by three black children--one shy boy, Darryl, is in her class. Outside the school, parents protest while, inside, the students are mean. Belle befriends Darryl, and all kinds of adventures ensue. Although Belle may display more of the perceptions of a 2007 child in the South, this is still a good book for a social study unit about school integration.
