A very thoughtful and rather brave look at race relations in the volatile world of teenagers. The voices and circumstance of the characters seem heartbreakingly authentic--you want to look away but you can't. A compelling, important book.

A wonderfully written book that was really funny at times and made you think the whole way through. I found it especially relevant considering all the news of race stuff we still hear in the news, unfortunately. The author has a way with words that hooked me from the beginning and I never wanted the book to end. Tremendous!
