About the Author
Irene Coates grew up in a bohemian family on the fringe of the Bloomsbury Group. A painter and playwright, she has also written on the role of the female in biology and genetics.
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-6 Barbara, a sixth grader, is devastated when she fails math. T. J. Brodie, whom she considers a pest, is assigned to be her peer tutor, and slowly they begin to become friends. When T. J. disappears from school without explanation, Barbara is certain (based solely on circumstantial evidence) that T. J. has been sent to a ``home'' by his grandfather, and she resolves to find him and bring him back. Other strands of the plot add realism and depth to an otherwise farfetched story: the difficulties of friendship, single parent families, and the application of some of the precepts of peaceful demonstration that Barbara learns during her Black History unit. While the main characters are black, the family, school and friendship problems are universal, and all readers will be able to recognize the hurt of failing a subject or of being rejected by best friends as well as the joy of success. Moore's style is pleasant and easy-to-read, which will encourage slow readers. Janet E. Gelfand, Lawrence Junior High School, N.Y.
