I am currently reading "New Boy" By Julian Houston. The story takes place in a town in Virginia. It is around the time of  the Civil Rights Movment. The main Character is Rob Garrett who is 15 leaves Virginia for a Connecticut boarding school. His dad who is a dentist and his mom who is a  schoolteacher m are proud of their sons but anxious because he is the first African American to go the the Connecticut school called Draper. Even though Rob is a smart African American he is still hated because he is simply "black". I am only at the further beginning of the book and currently do not have any questions for the author. So far it seems like a good book and I am guessing that there will be a surprise event that is shocking because the story has been calm for all of the beginning and.
