Serena Says by Tanita S. Davis
4.0
Serena Says is a wonderful middle grade novel about change, friendship, and finding your voice. I loved seeing Serena grow both through her actions and via her vlog.
It’s also important to note that the book highlights that friendships can change, but they don’t necessarily have to end. There are infinite reasons for friendships to evolve, some big, some really small, and Serena Says highlighted this.
Finally, I’m thrilled to see a book with characters of color that wasn’t about race. Don’t get me wrong, books like Blended, What Lane?, and Black Brother, Black Brother are VITAL, but it’s also important to see Black kids and kids of color just being.
Wanted to know more about Harrison. Maybe the author is saving his story for a companion?
Will definitely add to my classroom library.
