(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Dit is less than pleased that the new kid in town is a girl. He's also surprised that Emma and her parents are "Negras." With easy warmth and wit, Levine smoothly charts the growth of Dit and Emma's unlikely friendship against the background of WWI-era small-town Alabama. Each chapter is beautifully shaped, and Dit's narration is distinct and fluently homespun.
