Vive La Paris

by Esme Raji Codell

Hyperion, 2006, $5.99 - Ages 9-12

Paris McCray is her brother's keeper. She doesn't always like it, but who else is going to protect her shy, quiet eighth-grade brother Michael from the evil bullying of Tanaeja, a girl in Paris's fifth-grade class? And then there's Paris's eccentric piano teacher, old Mrs. Rosen, who, with her matzoh-ball soup, chopped-liver sandwiches, yellow star and tattooed arm, ends up teaching Paris far more than her scales. The author couples history with cultural/social aspects of what happens as a young black girl begins to see the good things and the bad things about life. Paris and the same unpredictable, enjoyable characters the author brought to life in her award-winning tale, Sahara Special, emerge again to offer readers insights into some of life's biggest lessons, like unconditional love, prejudice and ethics. A charming book that will leave readers thinking about the important things in life.
