Ophaned when he was only 3 years old and after spending 8 years with his aunt and uncle, Jeffrey Magee ran away and begame a legend. No one in the town of Two Mills knew where Jeffrey came except he arrived and began impressing everyone in town from hitting an inside the park homerun to untieing the town's biggest knot. He also broke the color barrier in town separating the Whites and Blacks.
For you see, Jeffrey was white, and the family who cared for him were Black.
As in most of Spinelli's books, this one is a heartwarming and delightful tale of how youthful innocence and determination can overcome obstacles including prejudices.
Age recommendation: 10+
