Maizon and Margaret are both living on Madison Street again, but somehow everything seems different. Maizon has changed since her semester at boarding school, and Margaret has become withdrawn since her father's death. Added into the mix is Caroline, a white girl who's new in town and threatens Maizon and Margaret's closeness, and Maizon's father, who left her as a baby but shows up unexpectedly just when she thought her life couldn't get any more mixed up.
In the third book of Jacqueline Woodson's trilogy, we see how growing up makes Maizon and Margaret's lives-and their friendship-a lot more complicated.
When Margaret's best friend Maizon returns from boarding school and joins her in the eighth grade, they try to resume their friendship while dealing with personal problems and watching their Brooklyn neighborhood undergo changes.

Between Madison and Palmetto
It probably would have behooved me well to read the first two books in the series first, but...oh well...too late now...
Between Madison and Palmetto packs a lot of punch for such a short book. Margaret and Maizon are growing up and trying to figure out what their lives will look like. One thinks she's too thin, the other thinks she's too fat; they're trying to better understand what makes life hard for them as young black girls, and what is different about life for young black boys. There's race talk and body talk and money talk and family talk.
Is it too much for such a short book? Maybe. But it works anyway, I think because there's no expectation that any of the (major!) plot points will be fully explored or fully resolved. They come out of the book having learned some things about race, for now. Maizon is building a new relationship with her father, for now. Margaret has a budding romance, for now. It's very nicely understated: a snapshot, but one where the depth is in the details.
