review 1: My favorite was story was "Three Pointer," I think. Resonated with my experiences in middle and high school...through a difference lens. Also loved "Under Berlin." That father's attitude was so warm and magnetic. I laughed out loud a few times while reading this one. Looking forward to hearing what others thought about this compilation. Particularly educators planning to use it for discussions about race.
review 2: I loved this book and can't say enough about it (so my short review won't do it justice). This collection of various short pieces was a great read written by some of the best YA authors of color today. If you read nothing else in it, take the time to read editor Mitali Perkins's introduction to the piece which is great for taking out and using for cl... moreass discussions. My only complaint about the book is that I wanted more! It was short but compelling (and probably as a result perfect for the intended teen audience), but I would love to see future editions with even more pieces! less
