About the book

Hannah is a nine year old Jewish American, who lives with her mother and pestering little brother. Her parents are divorced, and she spends her time making friends and dressing up. Dexter is a nine year old African American, who lives with both of his parents and his two sisters. His goal is to be a basketball star, so practicing this sport takes all of his time. The first time Hannah and Dexter meet, it is not a pretty sight. However, with the help of a clever red-haired teacher, their first meeting and other differences are soon forgotten. They find out that working together is better than working apart. This story tells one of cooperation and dependence, encouragement and excitement. This is a story that will not soon be forgotten, because of it s conventionalism and values imparted to every reader. A history project brings two unlikely people together, after being forced to work together. Hannah's and Dexter's first meeting is not a positive one, and the likelihood of them becoming friends is unthinkable. But thanks to a singing, strict red-haired teacher, their academic and social life change for the better. Additionally, their acceptance and respect of each other prove that working together is a whole lot better than working apart.- Publisher.
