New Boy

I hate to be the new person in a new school, especially when the school is in a far away place that might be different from what I'm used to. Imagine being the only African-American student in an all white school, in a time when the expensive school you now go to has only ever accepted white students. What an isolating experience! Rob somehow manages to make a friend or two, with people who try not to see their differences as a barrier between them, but something that could potentially bring them together. The worst part about being in such a new surrounding is when Rob tries to go home, and everything seems so different from when he left them. How is a fifteen year old boy supposed to cope with the hardships of school and then again at home?
