(2) 4-6 Although Jewish Gustave and his parents (Black Radishes) have escaped Nazi-occupied France, their new life in America is challenging. Gustave's story unfolds in believable moments as he makes the uncomfortable transition to American schooling and befriends the vivacious September Rose, a "Negro" girl who, like Gustave, experiences discrimination. This is powerful historical fiction that will send readers back to the first volume.
