520    "The Secret Life of Bees meets Paul Beatty's The White Boy
       Shuffle in this bold debut novel, set between the deep 
       South and New York City during the 1960s and early 70s, 
       following a biracial teenage boy whose new life in a big 
       city is disrupted by childhood memories of the summer when
       racial tensions in his hometown reached a tipping point.  
       It's 1969 when fifteen-year-old Huey Fairchild begins his 
       first day at Claremont Prep, one of New York City's most 
       prestigious boys' schools. His mother had uprooted her 
       family from their small hometown of Akersburg, Georgia a 
       few years earlier, leaving behind Huey's white father and 
       the racial unrest that ran deeper than the Chattahoochee 
       River.  But forgetting his past is easier said than done. 
       At Claremont, where the only other non-white person is the
       janitor, Huey quickly realizes that racism can lurk 
       beneath even the nicest school uniform. And after a quick 
       slip of his temper, Huey finds himself on academic 
       probation and facing legal charges. With his promising 
       academic career in limbo, Huey begins examining his 
       current predicament at Claremont through the lens of his 
       childhood memories of growing up in Akersburg during the 
       Civil Rights Movement.
