This is the third novel I’ve read from Ms. Renee Watson, and I really enjoy her young adult fiction. What I like most is that her books are set in Portland, Oregon. Not a lot of “black” books are set in that city and/or state that I know of, so it’s great to learn about a place I’ve never been to before. I loved that this incorporated Portland's black history as this issue of black neighborhoods are being gentrified. Great read!
