This book centers around a young child named Bobby. Bobby lives in the late 1950s in the midst of many civil rights issues. Over the course of the story, the child learns to put his assumptions and prejudices aside, as he finds the truth about race. Early on in the book, you can feel the evolution beginning to occur, as the boy's predisposition begins to shift. The character of Bobby is a bit of a blank slate, mainly there to observe and react to all of the things happening. But they do give him enough character to be believable, and it is interesting when he is exposed to something that he can't quite understand. So far, I would recommend it to anyone with even a vague interest in the issues explored here.
It sounds interesting, maybe I'll read it, I always did find civil rights very interesting.
