"The last book that I really loved (which makes it great to me) was
probably Iggie’s House... When I think about the fact that it was
published in 1970 and addresses white flight, I’m enamored by
Blume’s courage." –Jason Reynolds, bestselling author of Long Way
Down, in The New York Times Book Review A classic, coming of age
novel from award-winning author Judy Blume about the bonds that form
between children when a black family moves into an all white
neighborhood. Iggie’s House just wasn’t the same. Iggie was
gone, moved to Tokyo. And there was Winnie, cracking her gum on Grove
Street, where she’d always lived, with no more best friend and two
weeks left of summer. Then the Garber family moved into Iggie’s
house—two boys, Glenn and Herbie, and Tina, their little sister. The
Garbers were black and Grove Street was white and always had been.
Winnie, a welcoming committee of one, set out to make a good
impression and be a good neighbor. But Glenn and Herbie and Tina
didn’t want a “good neighbor.” They wanted a friend. And when
the other white families on the block got word of it, that's when the
trouble started.
