Product Details
Author: Tracy Chevalier
It was her world, and she had grown accustomed to it. She'd be going in a month for junior high.
Now that someone fresh and unusual had entered the area, Dee had a new perspective on the space, and she saw it as shabby, with herself as an alien in it, just like him.
She was the first to notice him...
But one student, Ian, can't take seeing the black lad and the golden girl's blossoming friendship, so he resolves to put an end to it. The school and its major participants - teachers and students alike - will never be the same again by the end of the day.
The tragedy of Othello is reimagined in a 1970s suburban Washington schoolyard, where students fall in and out of love with one another before lunchtime and engage in a form of casual racism learned from their parents and instructors. Tracy Chevalier's dramatic drama of friends torn apart by envy, bullying, and treachery will leave you reeling as you watch over the shoulders of four 11-year-olds - Osei, Dee, Ian, and his reluctant 'lover' Mimi.
Osei Kokote, a diplomat's son, knows he'll need an ally if he's going to survive his first day at his fourth school in six years, so he's lucky to strike it off with the most popular girl in school, Dee.
