Praised by critics, it has been described as “a vivid evocation of place and era” and “a child-friendly introduction to the Great Migration,” capturing the spirit of a meaningful historical moment through a warm, narrative style.
Thelma delights in watching the Sunset Limited train pass through her small town of Vacherie, Louisiana, and dreams of riding a real train one day. For now, she enjoys her “schooltrain,” walking with her friends each morning in a cheerful chant:
“Schooltrain! Schooltrain! Don’t be late! The school bell rings at half past eight!”
School brings learning, stories, and imagination-filled adventures with her teacher.
However, life in Vacherie begins to change as the impact of Jim Crow laws affects her community. Family members move away, including Aunt Bea and Uncle Ed, and when her best friend leaves too, Thelma is left wondering who Jim Crow is and why he brings so much hardship—and whether her own family will be affected as well.
