sjherrboldt 's review for:
Ghost Boys
by Jewell Parker Rhodes
pg. 40 "Middle school is like a country. Alliances are hard, dangerous. Other kids' fights become your fights."
pg. 75 "Being good gets me in trouble; scaring bullies gets me out. I don't like it. I don't like thinking about how to keep myself safe tomorrow. And the next day."
pg. 101 "People change, but not enough at the same time. Or, maybe, people change, then forget they've changed and keep hurting."
pg. 184 "Color shouldn't make anybody scared.....Fear, stereotypes about black boys don't make the world better."
pg. 203
"Bear witness. My tale is told.
Wake. Only the living can make the world better.
Live and make it better. Don't let me
(Or anyone else)
Tell this tale again."
