Thank you Netgalley and Katherine Tegen Books for the gifted book that I read in partnership with the library audio!
by: Tanita S. Davis
narrated by: Joniece Abbott-Pratt rating: really liked
I think this book is a beautiful way to handle a girl dealing with so much happening in her life. She is living with her great uncle due to some logistical issues with her school and her parent's jobs. She is the only black girl at her new school learning to deal with microaggressions from her classmates and a new friend that is very prejudiced against black men/boys. And then on top of all that she is in California dealing with wildfires! This book has less plot and more character development than is normally my preference, but I think it beautifully handled some tough situations for the main character.
