[edit] Plot Summary

The summary tells of the boy's African-American friend. Yet in the article for the film, it mentions that the main difference between the book and the film is that the boy's friend in the book was Jewish rather than an African-American. If this is so, then this article on the book should be corrected. Has anyone read the book and is able to confirm this? Kwyjibear 18:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
