This middle-grade novel was a bit heavy. It revolves around a hate crime that happened to the main character and her grandfather, both Americans of Indian descent. They were accosted on the street, assaulted, spat at, and told to "go home". When the school and town rally around them, they know that the hate will not win. It is an important theme in children's literature, and although mature in content, it needs to be on my shelves, especially now. (FIC BAJ)
