Slow reading, and I think a book meant for twelve-year-olds could've alluded to the slur instead of actually using it. Which is the problem, isn't it? POV swap, please.
really good story about the part of history BEFORE (the lost week of school) the really well known part of history (the little rock 9 going to school). great discussions for sure!
