From the back cover: “It won’t be easy.” That’s what Grandpa says when he learns that Mary Jane is going to be one of the first Negro children to go to Wilson Junior High.
Grandpa is right. It is the hardest thing that Mary Jane has ever done. No one in school will walk with her or eat with her. They spill ink on her books. They call her names.
The pain of going to an integrated school is almost more than Mary Jane can bear. But she doesn’t give up.
And then one day she learns she is not really alone.
