A book everyone, not just kids, should read. Rhodes does an incredible job telling the story from all perspectives without inserting any personal opinions to the dialogue. It's incredible time see all different cultures and races connect to tell one powerful, hard-hitting story.

A haunting, heart-wrenching, powerful read. This book should be read in every middle school classroom to discuss racial and implicit bias.

A very quick and excellent read. I got it for my emerging 6th grader and decided to preview it - would strongly recommend for kids and adults alike. I'll try to come back later to add her thoughts.
