A thought-provoking exploration of prejudice from the master of the school story. This timely, deceptively short and simple story will make readers look at the world around them in a new way. Illustrations.



Book Synopsis



Thief!

When Phil sees another kid wearing his brother's jacket, he assumes the jacket was stolen. It turns out he was wrong, and Phil has to ask himself the question: Would he have made the same assumption if the boy wearing the jacket hadn't been African American? And that question leads to others that reveal some unsettling truths about Phil's neighborhood, his family, and even himself.



Review Quotes




"Clements makes his point without didacticism--and with just the right amount of emotion."

"Disturbing . . . An excellent story to open honest group discussion."
