520    "The Bus Kids offers a compelling and uniquely detailed 
       examination of the experiences of kindergarten students in
       California participating in a voluntary school 
       desegregation program. Ira Lit focuses on the day-to-day 
       school life of a group of minority children bussed from 
       their poor-performing home school district to an affluent 
       neighboring district with high-performing schools. Through
       these kindergarteners' experiences, the book sensitively 
       illuminates the processes of school transition, 
       socialization, and adaptation, and addresses an array of 
       important issues relating to American education." "Lit 
       acutely observes these "bus kids" and the quality of their
       social, emotional, cultural, and academic experiences. He 
       presents a moving picture of the complexity of challenges,
       often unrecognized by teachers and parents, each young 
       student confronted every day."--Jacket.
