This historical fiction book is set in the 1950s right at the time civil rights and the Rosa Parks bus event was taking place. For Sara, she could not understand why African Americans had to sit in the back of the bus. When her mother got off a few stops prior to Sara, Sara becomes brave and decides to explore what is so special about the front end. This causes upset to the passengers and the driver, who stops the bus and gets a policeman! Sara refuses to get off the bus and is carried to the station where her mom must get her. The newspaper folks make her a hero to all!
There is a foreword by Rosa Parks to touch on her experience and the ways of the time.
