One day when blacks and whites were divided, a white boy comes to a black school. Everyone is surprised and everyone starts calling him the "Jesus Boy." The main character's friend starts comparing his actions with things from the Bible. At the end, the main character, "Frannie", sees things differently. She lived happily ever after.
I loved the book. It was great. I think it is a great book for young readers.
5 stars - It was awesome and I would recommend it to others.
