Rumblings of war

by Norma Jean Lutz

Their family has settled into a new home on Seattle's Queen Anne Hill, but things aren't going well. Audrey Harrington doesn't fit in at her new school. She's so smart, the other students call her 'Audrey Einstein.' When she makes mistakes on purpose to quiet their teasing, her grades drop. And Frank Harrington is wondering how to stand up for his Japanese-American friends when other boys blame them for things they did not do. Will Frank speak up for the Wakamutsus? Or will he keep quiet to gain acceptance from the guys on Queen Anne Hill?
