- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Narrated by Emily Janice Card. Winnie’s best friend Iggie has moved to Tokyo and Winnie still misses her. Then the Garber family moves into Iggie’s house with three kids. Winnie is excited to meet the kids and even more intrigued because the family is black. But some of the neighbors especially Mrs. Landon are concerned about what the Garbers’ presence means for the neighborhood. Card's presentation is likable but I found the story uncomfortably dated, even viewing it as a historical novel.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is one of Blume's books for younger readers, but despite this (and its age), she manages to examine race relations in suburbia in a really provocative way, touching on many of the sometimes-conflicted emotions that children caught in the racial crossfires might experience. The black children in the novel, for example, have understandable problems trusting their new white friend--is she being genuine, or does she just want an exotic token of her openmindedness? That Blume had the guts to address these sort of complexities is a testament to the respect she gave young readers.
