Title: Remember As You Pass Me By
Author: L. King Perez
Summary: Silvy and Mabelee have been friends since they were young. But, things are different now. Mabelee is black and Silvy is white and they are no longer allowed to play together. Besides, Mabelee is busy with other friends and Silvy is also busy meeting the new girl, Allie Rae. Allie Rae becomes Silvy's friend, but Silvy isn't sure she likes her because she talks bad about the people like Mabelee. Then, they decide to desegregate the schools and everyone around the town is upset. Silvy, in the end, helps Mabelee when she needs it most.
Comments: I liked this book. Silvy was likeable and so was Mabelee. There was some language in it and some more mature sequences, maybe. It was a good premise and a good story and I enjoyed it. I would probably recommend this for an older 10 year old+ who understands the history of that particular time.
Complaints: None.
Rating: 5 stars.
