Summary: Another great companion to Dicey's Song
Review: Cynthia Voigt presents another sensitive representation of the struggles so many of us face as we grow up. With the help of very supportive adults in her life, Mina comes to grips with some of her "first" experiences - prejudice, falling in love, etc. One of the great aspects of this series of books is that there are questions left unanswered in Dicey's Song, and A Solitary Blue that are answered in Come a Stranger, and it works the other ways as well. It seems as if Voigt wrote all three books simultaneously. Each young character finds in him or herself a well of strength that is bolstered by some of the people in her or his life. I find myself thinking that I would like to have Mina, Dicey, and Jeff for friends.

Review: I just finshed this book today. This is the first book I have read by Cynthia Voight and I loved it!I have started to read Homecoming, which so far is good. I thought some of the characters in Come A Stranger were almost like people I knew in my own life. It's a fast read but a great book!

Summary: I love this book.
Review: I read this book as a young girl and loved everything about it:many of the settings were foreign to me--professional dancing, livingwith a minister, etc. and I found them fascinating. I still reread this book now, years later, because I find it magical and captivating.

Summary: Come A Stranger
Review: I really enjoy all of Cynthia Voight's novels. This one, however I did not enjoy as much as I usually do. This is due, in part, to the fact that I am a middle-class caucasian who's largest dealing with discrimination was punching a boy in the face because he said I couldn't play four-sqaure because I was a girl. The story, of course, is very well written, and full of rich ideas, as most of Voight's former works are. She has a talent for immersing the reader in the fantastic and beautiful town of Crisfield. It is the writing, which I would like to pay the most attention to. Even since I have long outgrown the age at which these books would be appropriate for me to read, I still find myself rereading them over and over, just to see her style at work. It is amazing to me, that she can turn herself into a black thirteen year old struggling against racial tensions, and make it so darn believeable. I highly recommend this, and all the other Voight books.

Summary: It really woke me up.
Review: I'm a young girl who loves Cynthia's books and when I saw that one I just had to have it. I felt so bad for Mina when I realized(before she did)how the girls were treating her. I wanted to jump through the book and beat some sense into those three preppy dancers. Then when she started having a crush on the summer preacher I felt better knowing that she didn't remain crushed for life.

Summary: A Race Dependent World
Review: In the story "Come A Stranger" a young black girl named Mina, experiences bigotry that she is not used to. Mina is a wonderful dancer at the age of eleven, and is a very sweet kind girl, who loves herself for who she is. Then she gets accepted in a dance camp that is supposed to help her learn how to dance better, but teaches her something else. Mina loved being black and then she went to dance camp and learned how to hate being black. Mina is the only black girl at camp, but she doesn't really notice that and no one really shows their true colors toward her. Mina makes friends at camp and is sad when she has to leave when summer ends. Mina returns home and has turned into a snob, she has grown to hate being black in every way and feels that she is better than everyone else is. The next summer when she returns to dance camp, people start to act differently toward her, like they are better. Mina becomes miserable and wants to go home. Her dancing has changed a great deal because she hit puberty and is going though many changes. Dancing has become hard for Mina when it was once so easy. She is eventually kicked out of camp because no one wants a black girl there who can't dance. Mina for the first time in her life experiences racism. When she has to go home she feels angry, sad and happy all at the same time. She meets the summer reverend at her church named Tamer Shipp who comforts her, while she falls in love with him. Mina becomes a better person because of the dance camp rejection eventually meeting someone named Dicey and makes a great friend. The ending has a sort of funny twist to it. I really enjoyed this book and I think anyone would. I give this book 5 star.
