Berries Goodman (Used)

By (author): Emily Cheney Neville. After his family moves from Manhattan to suburban New Jersey, nine-year-old Bertrand "Berries" Goodman befriends Sidney, a Jewish boy who is likewise an outsider in the new community. Their friendship is tested by the town's antisemitism and housing discrimination, and Berries ultimately loses his best friend to prejudice he's too young to fully understand. Emily Cheney Neville's 1965 novel explores childhood innocence colliding with bigotry in 1960s suburban America.
