(2) YA To avoid being expelled after a school presentation accidentally lands a classmate in the hospital, Alaine Beauparlant is sent to Haiti, her parents' birthplace. There she learns about Haitian history and her family's role in the country's beginnings. She also gets the chance to end a family curse, with the help of the cute intern at her aunt's charitable-support-app company. The story is told entertainingly through diary entries, letters, newspaper articles, emails, and text messages; and the protagonist's snark, as she calls it, comes through clearly.
