Feathers

Frannie's ponderings on the concept of hope coincide with the arrival of a new student in her class, a pale, long-haired boy, a rarity in the mostly black middle school. Nicknamed Jesus Boy by the class bully, Frannie's friend Samantha begins to wonder if the new kid really is Jesus.

  • "Frannie doesn't know what to make of the poem she's reading in school. She hasn't thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more "holy." There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he's not white. Who is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new light -- her brother Sean's deafness, her mother's fear, the class bully's anger, her best friend's faith and her own desire for "the thing with feathers." Newbery Honor-winning author Jacqueline Woodson once again takes listeners on a journey into a young girl's heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface."
