Overall this was a really good read but, with the exception of the last couple of pages, Kermit being Black isn't highlighted in the book. I don't think the lack of it ruined the reading experience but there were quite a few moments when I turned to look at the cover and said, "What Black kid says this to his parents?"

My bar for books written by this author is high. Some of my favorite books were written by Ms. Magoon. Still I was blown away by this book. It is incredibly intense but also digestible. I really appreciated how this book approached death and some other really heavy issues.
