A review by earlybirdie94
Bronx Masquerade by Nikki Grimes

4.0

A little cheesy, but I liked the message and don’t think we have enough of it going around these days in YA (book was first published in 2003) as it seems a lot of YA books are wanting to put people down and box people in… well boxes.

The characters had separate struggles, and while I do wish they were a bit longer the author makes her point with them in their poems and small backgrounds.

If you like books written in verse (some of it) you’ll like this.
