Camo Girl

(3) 4-6 Ella is teased at school because of her "camo face" ("my skin is dark brown in some places and light brown in others") and her friendship with Zachary, who lives in his own fantasy world. When handsome new-boy Bailey arrives--bringing the school's count of African American students to two--Ella's loyalties are torn. Magoon's characterizations are authentic and believable in this story about self-perception.
