Great Books Coming in 2010: THE PRIVATE THOUGHTS OF AMELIA E. RYE

Just one true friend... That's all Amelia E. Rye's grandfather says she needs, and when Fancy Nelson comes to town, Amelia knows that it's true. Fancy is the first black person Amelia's ever seen, and she seems to have everything that Amelia lacks...courage and no-holds-barred confidence...and unconditional love from her family. With Fancy beside her, the world looks a little different to Amelia, a little brighter, and a little braver.

This is a fantastic, fantastic...
