    The Friendship , set in Mississippi in 1933, relates the unexpected consequences when Cassie Logan, the heroine of Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry , sees a black customer call a white storekeeper by his first name. In The Gold Cadillac , a black family encounters ignorance and prejudice during a drive from their Toledo home to Mississippi in their brand-new 1950 Cadillac. Both stories depict Taylor's customary sensitivity to racial issues. Ages 7-11. (Nov.) Copyright 1989 Cahners Business Information.
