(4) 4-6 Railroad-loving James "Brother" Sayres lives with his mother in the boardinghouse they run in 1937 Alabama. When the cook's nephew, Champion Luckey, arrives, Brother slowly grasps the ugly power of prejudice--and the substance of friendship. Though some of the historical details and lessons-learned moralizing interrupt the narrative flow, the story does a good job of depicting its setting.
