Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam

emotional hopeful fast-paced

4.0

This book in verse follows a young Black and Muslim teenager who is wrongly convicted of a crime. There is a lot of anger and hope shimmering through these pages. I loved the discussion of how art and writing can help you to be free and express your truth. Definitely an emotional read, but there is a strong hopeful tone as well.
