Description
Amy and Adam's love life is complicated by their families' disapproval. Amy's parents, traditionalist Japanese, and Adam's mother, from an upper-class background, refuse to accept their relationship. The "color game" experiment at school adds to the tension. Designed to highlight class and racial prejudices, it threatens to isolate Amy from her friends and drive a wedge between her and Adam. As Amy rebels against the experiment, she must decide whether others will follow her lead. A powerful exploration of prejudice, identity, and relationships, this novel is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in social themes and young adult fiction.
