A Place At The Table
Each chapter of this novel alternated between the two main characters: Sara and Elizabeth. It was written collaboratively - one character written by one author, and the other written by another - which gave a very authentic feel to it. Both starting middle school, they face friendship and family challenges, but find each other in a cooking class. Can they get over their differences, rise above racist sentiment, and become real friends? The use of food in the story to illustrate the point of mingling cultures was very effective and poignant.
