Gabriel and Frita have pinky promised each other to make a list of fears and then work through them together. Gabriel is afraid of more things than Frida. The one fear that sparks the promise is moving on to fifth grade. The book is set in 1976 and deals with racism, the election, as well as the main conflict of Gabriel's fears.

A sweet little story about two best friends going on little adventures together over the summer. Frida is a sweetheart and I rooted for Gabriel the entire time.

One caveat...more
