Description
In the winter of 1971, Frannie, a sixth grader navigating the shifting currents of school and community, finds her world changed when a new white student—nicknamed “The Jesus Boy”—arrives in her class. As their friendship grows, Frannie begins to question what she has always assumed about race, belonging, and the stories people tell to explain who they are. With lyrical clarity and emotional honesty, this novel explores how small moments of connection can challenge long-held boundaries and reveal the complexity of empathy. Jacqueline Woodson’s distinctive, character-driven style brings to life the tension and tenderness of adolescence, where understanding is earned one choice at a time.
