The War Between the Classes

By: Gloria Miklowitz

Narrated by: Alexandra Bailey

What are Amy and Adam going to do about their love life? Neither Amy's traditionalist Japanese parents nor Adam's snobby, upper-class mother will accept their relationship. To make things worse, Amy and Adam are involved in the "color game" at school, an experiment that's designed to make students aware of class and racial prejudices.

Now the experiment threatens to alienate Amy from her friends and tear her apart from Adam. She knows it's time to rebel against the color game. But will the rest of the class follow her lead?

An Important Book

I read this book for fun in middle school, more than 25 years ago. I listened to it with my upper elementary aged children, and thoroughly enjoyed it again.
It’s fun, beautifully written, and illustrates complex issues and concepts without shying away and without being brutal or traumatic.
I’m shocked that it hasn’t won more awards and isn’t taught in schools.
