chrystina68 's review for:
Black and White
by Paul Volponi
I didn't particularly care for this book. I thought it had a good message and might appeal to middle school students or struggling high school readers.
The two main characters narrated alternating chapters. However, I didn't feel that the author effectively developed either one of the narrator's voices. I also noticed that the black and white "symbolism" seemed extremely forced toward the end of the story.
Ultimately, I would recommend this book to younger readers that are interested in a story containing basketball, friendship, racial issues, and moral dilemmas.
