Solo by Kwame Alexander, Mary Rand Hess
5.0
I finally decided to read a Kwame Alexander book because he'll be in town this month and wow! No regrets here!
The audiobook is well done. This is one of those author narrated audiobooks that actually works.
I love contemporary YA lyric/poetry novels and this one hits the spot. This is basically a young black man's journey of growth and self-discovery after finding out that he was adopted.
And the fact that his father is a famous rock star adds an interesting twist to the story. (I just pictured Lenny Kravitz the whole time lol)
Also, it's always great to read about an American POC going back to the motherland and finding out their roots (in a way). It's an experience that I can personally relate to.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
