˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗
Jordan starts at a new private school that consists of mostly white students and teachers, he is one of the few black students and he starts to notice all the micro aggressions and the out right racism he and the other black students are treated with.  

While dealing with important and heavy topics this book is very well balanced, there are so many funny moments too and they help make it feel so lighthearted and comforting to read.  

It’s a really great read for Middle Grade level, but I’d recommend it to anyone honestly. This was such a good book and the narration was awesome!!  All the narrators really brought the characters voices to life.
