He's \"blending in\" just the way he likes. So when his father tells him he should be proud to be part of the African-American \"community,\" EllRay isn't so sure he wants to call attention to his differences.

And not exactly for good reasons. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith Sally Warner's trademark sense of humor and spot-on dialogue, EllRay confronts questions about race and how it impacts both himself and everyone around him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Kids of all stripes will identify with EllRay and his unwittingly hilarious antics.\"--Booklist\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Junior Library Guild selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Scholastic Book Club selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner 2012-13\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally Warner (www.sallywarner.com) has published more than twenty novels for young readers, including the Emma and EllRay Jakes series.
