Carol's Side of the Street

5/5 ( ratings)

"Similar in approach to last year's Just Plain Maggic which touched upon the divorce problem, this busy, generally cheerful little girl story introduces another adult-nurtured contribution to childhood unhappiness -- the tragedy of anti-Semitism. Carol Myers was properly ecstatic about her new house which her parents were having remodeled and where she was to have her very own room. With the prospect of forming a new club with her friends, school and family holiday doings, twelve-year-old Carol could hardly wait until the new house was ready, but something bewildering and terrifying happened, something with which Carol had never come in contact -- Pam the girl across the street has announced that ""there are no Jews on this block"" and ""you shouldn't come when you're not wanted"". Gradually Carol learns from her family and gentile friends that Pam and not Carol is the one to suffer, and chance familiarity brings Pam and Carol together. An intelligent and wisely understated treatment of the subject, skillfully subordinated to story interest."--Kirkus Review
