(2) 4-6 In the 1930s, the Mexican American community in Lemon Grove, California, organized to bring a lawsuit against the school board--"the first successful school desegregation case"--after the board secretly commissioned building an inferior school to segregate Mexican American children. The third-person text, in both Spanish and English, is told from the perspective of twelve-year-old Roberto. Hale skillfully uses such visual techniques as large halo shapes and split panels to depict the unfolding events while also highlighting aspects of everyday life in this small agricultural town. Bib.
