Lizzie Bright And The Buckminster Boy

Schmidt, Gary D.
Turner finds when he moves to Phippsburg, Maine, that life is very different from Boxton. They don't even pitch baseball the same. His only friend is a Negro girl from Malaga Island. And talking to Negro girls is not the kind of behavior expected of a minister's boy. A very good historical novel. A bit wordy, sometimes I had to go back a re-read a paragraph. Some sly humour, some tragedy, some growing.

Quote:

"Oh hell," said Mrs. Cobb, "it's warm here. Get me a ginger ale."
