Excellent. I think this book should have a lot more hype around it than it does, although I suppose the time in which it would've done the most good is already past and gone. Very important topic, and addressed with a skillful hand.
I love love Trip and Dee, and even Trip's friends are pretty great. The majority of the adults made me quite angry, and because of that, Trip's parents made me nearly giddy with happiness. I am so extremely proud of him and his family, and how they didn't just settle for how things were and ignore the flaws in their culture just like everyone else was. Sometimes it takes a little kid to unveil the misconceptions of a whole town. And this kid did a fabulous job of it.
