So when his father tells him he should be proud to be part of the African-American ""community,"" Ell Ray isn't so sure he wants to call attention to his differences. After all, he's only one of two boys in his class with brown skin. And then, totally by accident, he insults the other boy--one of his best friends--and all at once Ell Ray's back to being the center of attention. And not exactly for good reasons. With Sally Warner's trademark sense of humor and spot-on dialogue, Ell Ray confronts questions about race and how it impacts both himself and everyone around him.
