The Long Ride

It is the 1970s in NYC and 3 girls are part of an experiment to force integration by bussing them across town.  But one girl's parent object and she is sent to a private school instead.  All 3 of them encounter difficulties during the transition - prejudice, assumptions, new friendships, boys and the struggle to fit in.  Can they stay true to themselves?

This was a quick read and pretty thought provoking.  How do adult decisions affect the lives of the children?  Good historical insight.
