Welcome back to Miss Pointy's fifth-grade class. In this companion to Sahara Special, Paris McCray tells a story that packs an emotional wallop. Codell tackles many issues: school dynamics, the Holocaust, music, religion, gangs, siblings, and unexpected pregnancies. Paris's story will appeal to readers who, like her, are trying to find out where they fit in a confusing, sometimes unkind world.
