INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(2) 4-6 How come the new white boy named Jesus in Frannie's sixth-grade class says he's not white, and could he possibly be the Jesus? How does it feel to have faith? Frannie works out her own answers, finding hope in everyday goodness. Woodson deftly weaves some large ideas through her story, but it's the small moments that linger profoundly.
