(Hannah is a nine year old Jewish American, who lives with...)
Hannah is a nine year old Jewish American, who lives with her mother and pestering litter brother. Her parents are divorced and she spends her time making friends and dressing up. Dexter is a nine year old African American, who lives with both of his parents and his two sisters. His goal is to be a basketball star, so practicing this sport takes all of his time. The first time Hannah and Dexter meet, it is not a pretty sight. However with the help of a clever red-haired teacher, their first meeting and other differences are soon forgotten. They find out that working together is better than working apart. This story tells one of cooperation and dependence; encouragement and excitement. This is a story that will not soon be forgotten, because of it s conventionalism and values imparted to every reader. A history project brings two unlikely people together, after being forced to work together. Hannah s and Dexter s first meeting is not a positive one and the likelihood of them becoming friends is unthinkable. But thanks to a singing, strict red-haired teacher, their academic and social life change for the better. Additionally, their acceptance and respect of each other prove that working together is a whole lot better than working apart.
