(2) 4-6 Seventh graders Ivy June and Catherine participate in a student exchange program between the poor Kentucky mining town of Thunder Creek and the relatively well-to-do city of Lexington. Naylor hits the right notes for the relationships between the girls and community members. The setting is richly realized, and the differences between the two ways of life are illuminated with both realism and diplomacy.
