Black Boy White School by Brian F. Walker tells the tale of Anthony "Ant" Jones, a black kid from East Cleveland. He is given a scholarship to an elite white prep school in Maine. How he sees things there and the people he meets is the story of this book.
Not a great read but it's interesting to say the least. The last 50 pages are very good which makes it well worth reading.

This was interesting, but the language and drug use make it something I am not comfortable handing to my students. I will be interested to see more from this author.
