AHH this was so good. it dealt with some hard topics and that was refreshing to see honestly. I loved being in this particular main character's mind. She was very interesting. I love this story so much ❤️.
Such a beautifully written book. This is about more than dealing with a blended family, it's also about growing up with a blended heritage and figuring out who you are when you come from two very different backgrounds. I loved this book and will be recommending it to my middle school students.
This book is a great starting point for a lot of relevant discussions about racism, divorce and police brutality...all in a very accessible middle-grade story. It can be a perfect book to read in class or as a book club book.
It allows you to see and feel through the eyes and mind of a young biracial American girl of 11 years old.
The downside of this book is that it starts a lot of discussions, but the topics are not thoroughly discussed by the end of the story, leaving it up to the reader to get to the missing answers and to explore in-depth all of the main themes.
