The Broken Bike Boy and the Queen of 33rd Street

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Colin Bootman. Stuck-up fifth-grader Queen Marie Rosseau is "Queen of Thirty-third Street." When smelly Leroy insists that he's really a prince from Senegal, Queen decides to find out the truth. Complex characters and a rich urban setting defy stereotyping and will appeal to readers beginning to see themselves through others' eyes. Occasional pencil illustrations add a welcome dimension.
