Publisher Description
Sylvia is shocked and confused when she is asked to be one of the first black students to attend Central High School, which is scheduled to be integrated in the fall of 1957, whether people like it or not. Before Sylvia makes her final decision, smoldering racial tension in the town ignites into flame. When the smoke clears, she sees clearly that nothing is going to stop the change from coming. It is up to her generation to make it happen, in as many different ways as there are colors in the world.

Good message!!
I really liked the book and thought it was a good message. I thought it took a long time to get to the point of the schools being integrated and Sylvia being part of the integrators. The book wasn't exactly how I thought I was going to be like. I thought it would be based on her experience at the white high school not the process of the integration and the drama with it. Overall it was good, but a little depressing!
Great!
In the end she does drop out, but tells a great reason why!
Love it
It's a good book.😛
