(4) 4-6 When his mother announces plans to lead a march against racism, Japanese-American Tommy is embarrassed by the publicity. After a speeding car nearly kills a deaf neighbor, Tommy and his friends secretly build a speed bump, and he understands the importance of taking a stand. Although dealing with powerful issues, the story is occasionally heavy-handed.
