INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(2) 4-6 Every Friday, narrator Haley and her classmates sit in a circle during the last hour of school to talk about whatever they want without their teacher. While grappling with immigration, racism, incarceration, and loss, they also explore identity, community, change, and forgiveness. Woodson's craft as a weaver of words and imagery is evident throughout this timely tribute to the resilience of young people and the power of human connection.
