I bought it from Scholastic when I was in school, during the time our schools were finally being integrated here in South Carolina. My heart hurt for Mary Jane (my immediate reaction to her mother not allowing her to buy a red sweater to go with her gray skirt was to think, "but what a beautiful combination that is, and what a shame people would have such small minds !") and I tried to be a better person in part because of it. I hope you find a copy, it is a wonderful book.(less)
