Gr. 2^-3. In a sequel to Ginger Brown: Too Many Houses (1996), Ginger is again spending the summer down-the-country on her grandparents' farm. She meets Ronald, a quiet boy who calls himself "Nobody" because he is sad that his parents have separated. "So have mine," says Ginger, and the two become friends. They play and fight and make up, and they even help their grandfathers patch up an old quarrel and become friends again. Ronald hasn't known any white people, and he can't understand how Ginger's grandparents can be white, but she explains that her mother is black and her father is white. In the end, Ronald's parents get back together, and Ginger can't help feeling sad that her parents are still apart. In a brief autobiographical note, Wyeth talks about how her bond with her quiet younger brother comforted her when her parents separated. Many young readers will find this First Stepping Stone Book a supportive story, with no false cheer but a strong sense of fun and friendship. Hazel Rochman
