Description
Gr 9 Up-A compilation of short stories that offers unique perspectives
on what it means to be young and black in America today. Each entry is
deftly woven and full of such complex humanity that teens will identify
with and see some of their own struggles in these characters. In Leah
Henderson's 'Warning: Color May Fade,' a prep school girl examines the
cost of being and remaining invisible in a world carefully crafted to
exclude her. Two girls take the peer pressure of naked selfies and turn
it on its head in 'Girl, Stop Playing' by Liara Tamani. A group of young
black boys dream up food creations heavily influenced by the flavors of
other cultures in 'The Ingredients' by Jason Reynolds. This collection
presents the beauty of black humanity in all its many forms. The teens
in these tales are dealing with mental health issues, complicated family
dynamics, sexuality and gender constraints, and being part of a
marginalized group. The entries offer a rich tableau of the black teen
diaspora in an accessible way. VERDICT A great volume for all libraries
serving young adults.-Desiree Thomas, Worthington Library, OHα(c)
