Molestiae sed aut qui in.

I started this thinking I wouldn't like it. I assumed it was simply about a boy wanting to get some candy. I was wrong about what the story was about. Kind of. Once I got into it I started appreciating how pleasant, yet stern, the Daniels Aunt Thelma was. I also liked the glimpses into city life - any suburban child will like seeing the differences I would think. The author does this without getting so into it she loses the reader. In the story, Daniel and Aunt Thelma are walking through their neighborhood to the candy store. When they approach there is a crowd of people all huddled around and the candy shop owner, Miz Chu is obviously upset. This is where it gets a little tricky. I suppose Wahl left things a little up in the air here because, after all, this is a children's book. But it's somewhat unclear as to what actually happens. As an adult I can figure out that someone wrote something negative on the concrete in front of Miz Chu's shop. Can kids figure this out? And once they do what will they assume was written? I would have liked things to be a little more laid out. Not an actual derogatory statement of course, but just something to the effect of what actually happened. As it is, it isn't until at least 6 pages after seeing Miz Chu upset that the reader sees Daniel, kneeling outside on the concrete with a bucket of soap and water, washing the words away.

I love that Daniel takes it upon himself to not just feel sympathy but to actually take steps to do the right thing and make Miz Chu feel better. I love the unity between the races. I do not like how Aunt Thelma speaks to the crowd outside the shop. What right does she - or anyone - have to come out yelling telling people to move and get away. Aunt Thelma would have been in for a surprise had Eva been outside. She only would have waved her umbrella in my face once. Let me be clea
