Summary: It's 1963 and Kizzy Ann Stamps is about to start at the just-integrated public school. Will the white students resent her, and will they stare at the scar that runs from the tip of her right eye to the corner of her smile? Kizzy uses letters to her new teacher to ask her summer's worth of questions with startling honesty. The teacher is supportive of her first black student, but not everyone feels the same - including, Kizzy fears, the judges for the upcoming herding competition. Kizzy Ann knows that she and Shag, her beloved border collie, could compete in the dog trials, but will she be able to enter?
