Mayfield Crossing

All the kids from Mayfield Crossing are excited about going to the new school at Parkview. It's bigger and newer than their old school and, best of all, it has a first-rate baseball field. It never occurred to any of them that they wouldn't even be allowed to played on the Parkview field.

At Mayfield, nobody ever thought about who was white and who was black. They were all just friends. But it's 1960, and the Parkview kids aren't ready to accept newcomers---especially if they're a different color.

It's the first time any of the Mayfield kids have experienced the real pain of prejudice, but by sticking together they all become outsiders...and discover that overcoming trouble can be the strength that makes a winning team.
