The Liberation of Gabriel King

154 pp. | Putnam | June, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23991-X $15.99
(2) 4-6 Gabriel King is afraid of spiders, bullies, and, most of all, advancing to the fifth grade. When his best friend, African-American Frita, decides that their summer project will be liberating Gabe from his fears, Gabe's personal journey collides with the racial tension that lies under the surface of their 1970s Georgia town. Gabe's wry commentary on his progress is comically self-aware.
