Camo Girl Hardcover - 2011
by Kekla Magoon
Set in the modern-day suburbs of Las Vegas, this poignant novel by the Coretta Scott King Award-winning author of "The Rock and the River" is about a biracial girl and the friendships that grow out of, and despite, her race.
Summary
Set in a suburb of Las Vegas, Ella and Zachary, called Z, have been friends forever, but Z has always been âÈêthe weird kidâÈë in their class. He collects stubby pencils, plays chess, and maintains an elaborate âÈ'and publicâÈ' fantasy life, starring himself as a brave knight.
ZâÈçs games were okay back in 3rd or 4th grade, but by now their other friends have ditched them both. Z doesnâÈçt care, but Ella longs to be part of a group of friends, even though most of the class makes fun of her.
EllaâÈçs mother is black and her father (now deceased) was white, and sheâÈçs the only black girl in their sixth grade class. When a new boy, Bailey, moves to town, he befriends Ella, because they are now the only two black kids in class. But Bailey is popular âÈ' popular enough to make Ella cool and give her a wider circle of friends âÈ' but only if she stops hanging out with Z. EllaâÈçs faced with a difficult decision âÈ' remain loyal to the boy who has been her best and only friend for years, or pass up the opportunity to be one of the popular kids that she has always longed to be.
