Nicknamed 'Yankee Girl' and taunted by the in-crowd at school, Alice soon discovers the other new girl Valerie - one of the school's first black students - has it much worse.   Alice can't stand the way Valerie is treated, and yet she knows she will remain an outsider if she speaks up. It takes a horrible tragedy to finally give Alice the courage to stand up for what she believes.   Set in the Deep South in the 1960s, Yankee Girl is a powerful, resonant and relevant story about racism and doing the right thing.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038495187127,"sku":"9780746067499","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/products\/9780746067499.jpg?v=1641378148","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780746067499","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
