About this listen

Today is Ruth's first day of third grade at Dalton. The prestigious institution on New York's Upper East Side couldn't be more different from her old school in Harlem. Despite being the smartest girl in her grade, Ruth suspects that her classmates and teachers only see her dark skin. She also notices that Christina, the daughter of her mother's employer, treats Ruth very differently when they're hanging out with the popular girls rather than playing together.

Ruth must navigate between two worlds, never losing sight of the dreams she has for herself – in hopes that someday, someone will see her for who she really is.

As many ch as I admire this author I was disappointed with this story. It felt like it was written for a young reader in that in my view, it lacked depth. Not worth the money.
