Fifth grade isn't exactly easy for eleven-year-old Taneesha Bey-Ross. For one thing, she's getting tired of being her best friend Carli Flanagan's personal bodyguard. Carli wears a leg brace and she's white, and when Taneesha does stand up for Carli in the face of a local bully--a giant of a girl with big fists and army boots--she's told to expect revenge. Taneesha's also running a loser's race for class president, and her love-hate interest Rayshaun has learned that Taneesha is a Buddhist, so now he's taunting her, saying that she's going to hell. Her mom may have told her that Taneesha's got heaven in her heart, but it doesn't feel that way. And just in case she forgets it, there's always Evella, Taneesha's evil imaginary twin, to remind her that she's a total failure.This beautifully written, fun, and instantly engaging novel presents vivid characters and a timely story about the big issues that every child faces.

No filler or fluff.. Item as described. This memoir which covers six decades of the author's life and career as an art historian was a delight to read. Yes. For instance, it contains information and pictures about the GTS versions of the Boxster and Cayman, just introduced in the spring of 2014. New magical goodies give the drow a lot of fascinating options.
However, the book fails to really live
