Strawberry Hill

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Wendy Anderson Halperin. Hoberman's Depression-era story tells of Allie and her family's adjustment to their new life on Strawberry Hill. For Allie, who's Jewish, finding a new best friend in this more diverse neighborhood is a challenge; choosing between a popular girl and a social outcast proves harder than she'd expected. Well-shaded black-and-white illustrations evocative of the time period illustrate the story.
