Thank you NetGalley and Delacorte Press for the Advanced Readers copy of this book.
I was so excited to see a young adult adaption of Caste and eagerly started this book when I received it nearly a year ago. However, I found this adaptation to not take into account the vocabulary and the context needed for a young adult reader to understand the many complex topics, events, and people introduced in this text. For this text to be adapted for young adults vocabulary needs to be defined in language a young adult reader can grasp without support. Historical context needs to be provided throughout the text to help the young adult reader see the bigger picture. I enjoyed this book immensely but would only be able to use portions of the text with my students.

The casteism vs racism conversation really opened my mind.
