Armstrong & Charlie

By Steven B. Frank

Are you a rules follower or a rules breaker?

What if you had to leave your school and your friends and get bussed across town?

Have your parents ever thought you should be friends with someone you had nothing in common with?

"Opportunity Bussing" means that rebellious Armstrong has to leave his school in inner-city Los Angeles for all-white Wonderland Middle School. Charlie is a rules follower who is grieving the death of his brother. Together they navigate the tricky world of sixth-grade.
