(2) 4-6 Amara's twelfth birthday trip with her dad becomes a whirlwind of highs and lows as she's introduced to the rich history of African Americans in Harlem, learns how to relate to her cousins, and uncovers the source of her father and grandfather's estrangement. Watson proves her deftness in depicting settings--both Amara's hometown of Beaverton, Oregon, and New York City--and conveys the importance of loving family through differences.
