When two friends embark on a mission one Sunday after church, little do they know their lives will change forever! Scott and Tommy plan on taking back what was lost to them and their friends, but to do so they must trespass. To add to their mission, a boy from across the river has overheard their plans and wants in. I think the author of this book highlights the theme perfectly: “This is not a story about race but a story about people, and it involves race.” Through humor, adventure, and the eyes of a little boy, kids learn about forgiveness, reconciliation, and honesty. There are darling pencil sketches throughout that bring this charming story to life. 173 pgs, hc. ~Rebecca
