I finished reading this book with my Year 9 class today. This is the second time I’ve read it as I taught it last year too and I loved it just as much. The kids seem to really enjoy it and are always excited to read it. I think it’s a great show of the hardships that many people have to deal with purely for the colour of their skin and is the first dual narrative I ever read. I think it’s perfect for teens and adults and I have already bought the next one and promised my class I would tell them what happened!
