RGG: Compelling and entertaining story of divorce, being bi-racial, blended families, friendship, passion. The incidents of racist violence are horrifying and may be triggering. Reading Interest: 11-13. Representation: Biracial main character Trigger warnings: Racism, divorce, gun violence 7/10, this was a novel that touched on many quite serious topics such as racism and divorce and I'm surprised that this is only a middle grade novel but this was still a good book most of the time. The main character Isabella was fine and she was neither likable or dislikable rather she was just neutral but she went through a lot of things in her life but at the very least she got through all of them. She had some interesting characteristics such as being a pianist and having to switch between two houses every single week, she didn't like that at first however she eventually got used to her new life and towards the end of the book both her mother and father married two new people so they became her stepmother and stepfather and now technically she has four parents? Some parts of this novel were quite heavy such as the noose incident at her school and the police shooting, the first one was probably racially motivated and the second one must've been a misunderstanding and they were quite distressing to read. By the way the cultural references within the novel were quite dated such as the dab, fidget spinners and making slime, what year was this book set in, maybe 2017, since those things were very popular in that year. If you like a book about social issues this is the book for you. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:Eleven-year-old Isabella's blended family is more divided than ever in this thoughtful story about divorce and racial identity from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Out of My Mind, Sharon M. Draper. Eleven-year-old Isabella's parents are divorced, so she has to switch lives every week: One week she's Isabella with her dad, his girlfriend Anastasia, and her son Darren living in a fancy house where they are one of the only black families in the neighborhood. The next week she's Izzy with her mom and her boyfriend John-Mark in a small, not-so-fancy house that she loves. Because of this, Isabella has always felt pulled between two worlds. And now that her parents are divorced, it seems their fights are even worse, and they're always about HER. Isabella feels even more stuck in the middle, split and divided between them than ever. And she's is beginning to realize that being split between Mom and Dad is more than switching houses, switching nicknames, switching backpacks: it's also about switching identities. Her dad is black, her mom is white, and strangers are always commenting: "You're so exotic!" "You look so unusual." "But what are you really?" She knows what they're really saying: "You don't look like your parents." "You're different." "What race are you really?" And when her parents, who both get engaged at the same time, get in their biggest fight ever, Isabella doesn't just feel divided, she feels ripped in two. What does it mean to be half white or half black? To belong to half mom and half dad? And if you're only seen as half of this and half of that, how can you ever feel whole? It seems like nothing can bring Isabella's family together againâ??until the worst happens. Isabella and Darren are stopped by the police. A cell phone is mistaken for a gun. And shots are fir Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
