Narrated by Emily Janice Card. Winnie’s best friend Iggie has moved to Tokyo and Winnie still misses her. Then the Garber family moves into Iggie’s house with three kids. Winnie is excited to meet the kids and even more intrigued because the family is black. But some of the neighbors especially Mrs. Landon are concerned about what the Garbers’ presence means for the neighborhood. Card's presentation is likable but I found the story uncomfortably dated, even viewing it as a historical novel.
