Summary: Belle Teal
Comment: I liked the book it tells why being prejudice is never a good thing. The story is about a little girl, and her name is Belle Teal. She lives with her Grandma and Mother. She is excited about the first day of school, and her teacher is Ms. Casey. She loves her teacher. On the first day of school the colored children came to the school. The parents were very upset. They all had signs saying how the colored children should not be able to attend there school. When school started there was a colored boy in her class by the name of Darryl. The other children did not like him at all. Then there was a prissy girl by the name of Vanessa Mathers they named her HRH. The both of them were the new students in the class. The other boys Chas, Vernon, and Little Boss were the bullies of the class. Little Boss was never a bully until he started hanging around them. When CHRISTmas was there the class had a pageant to do. Belle Teal was Mary that made HRH mad. She thinks she is Queen B. Darryl got to be the king. Which made the other kids mad. Later on Little Boss was fooling around with his fathers gun and accidentally shot himself. He tried to tell his dad what happened his father blamed it on Darryl.

Summary: Belle Teal Review
Comment: This book was great. I think it was so... good.. that I kept reading it. This book talks about this girl named Belle Teal who lives with her grandma and mother. She is poor and a really nice girl. In this book, it talks about the way she carries herself and how to be nice to people. In the book, she starts 3rd grade, and this is the time of segreation, so many of the white children hate the black children. Anyways, her best friend and herself, learn to like the black boy in the class and be friends with them. There are more exciting surprises that happen in the book so you have to read it first. I think this is about 214 pages.

Summary: Belle Teal-A Novel by Ann M. Martin
Comment: I enjoyed reading this story of a young girl, Belle Teal, growing up in the 60's when civil rights movements were taking place and schools were becoming integrated. Seeing things from Belle Teal's point of view gave me a different outlook of people during that time. I was especially surprised to feel her embarassment everyday when she had to walk into school with parents picketing because they did not like the fact that black children would now be attending what was once an all white school district. It was nice to see her befriend Darryl, the new African American boy, despite their racial differences. In the end, it was great to see her befriend Vanessa, another person who at first, Belle strongly disliked because of her differences. I also felt that many young readers could relate to Belle Teal and her family. Belle Teal's mother was struggling to keep her job and her grandmother seemed to be suffering a mild case of alzheimers. Belle had a lot of responsibility in her family, which is one issue that many kids with single parents can relate to. Belle Teal also acts as the heroine in the story when one of her closeset friends is the victim of his father's abusive behavior. Overall, Martin does an excellent job of addressing family, friend, and racial issues throughout this book.
