In 1958 Little Rock, Arkansas, these best friends refuse to give up on each other, no matter the cost. Twelve-year-old Marlee, who is shy & quiet, feels like her whole world is falling apart. And she's sure that starting middle school is only going to make things worse, until she meets Liz, the new girl. It may look like they have nothing in common - Liz always knows the right thing to say, & Marlee can barely stand to speak in class - but they become fast friends. Then Liz is caught 'passing' for white & leaves the school without even a good-bye. Marlee decides she wants her friend back. But to stay friends Marlee & Liz must be willing to take on segregation - & the dangers their friendship could bring to both their families. - from Amzon
