YA
In the Bronx in the 1960s, Yolanda, who is black, and Fiona, daughter of Irish immigrants, challenge common prejudices by becoming friends. But while Fiona is included in middle school parties, Yolanda is left out. When Fiona takes difficult steps to defy her abusive father, she also examines her own priorities. Believable characters and compelling historical events make this a satisfying read.
