The Starplace

It's the early 1960s and Frannie has never given much thought to the color of her skin-until an African-American girl named Celeste moves to her hometown in Oklahoma. At first, Frannie ignores Celeste, but when the two girls are chosen to be in a special vocal ensemble, they find themselves becoming friends. But others are not so quick to accept the idea of racial integration, and Frannie discovers a dark secret from the town's past that threatens the future of her friendship with Celeste.

"A wonderful, well-written, multilayered novel with lots of appeal."-School Library Journal, starred review

"The account of Frannie's emerging conscience, increasing awareness of history, and developing friendship with Celeste is compelling."-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
