Rhoda, Straight and True
Novel, Grades 4-6

          Life and the rules seem clear-cut for 6th grader Rhoda in the summer of 1953.  All the kids in her Brooklyn neighborhood know they should avoid Mr. & Mrs. Rose (they must be Russian spies!) and the Mancy children (they’re poor and different!).  But when Rhoda begins to think for herself, she makes surprising discoveries about truth and friendship.

      “Strong characterizations matched by careful plotting.  Solid Fiction!”ALA  Booklist
