Gabriel King is afraid of everything: spiders, the rope swing over the lake, and most of all, going to fifth grade. Frita Wilson, his best friend, decides Gabriel needs some liberating from his fears, so they make a list and plan to tackle each one. But one of the reasons Frita is so determined to help Gabe is that she needs his help too. Hollowell, Georgia in 1976 isn’t exactly the most integrated place, and Frita’s the only black student in school in a town with an active Ku Klux Klan.

Printz honor winner K. L. Going (Fat Kid Rules the World) reaches out to a younger audience in this poignant story of unlikely friends and the summer they learn that facing down your fears is easier with someone by your side.
