(1) 4-6 Reynolds delivers an emotionally resonant story of an African American family working to overcome its past. Warmly told in third person, the novel follows Genie (staying with his grandparents in rural Virginia) through a series of tragicomic blunders, minor triumphs, and heartfelt discussions with blind and fiercely independent Grandpop. A novel with deft dialogue and affecting depth.
