Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.
This book loses nothing from being the second in a series, or from the fact it's in verse. The characters are well drawn despite the limited word count, and the plot is well thought through, and provides layers for the reader to engage with. While it focuses on the story of a child and the racial separation of the time, it layers feminism, friendship, slavery, family and song throughout.
The atmosphere is tangible and it delivers the same level of enrapture as the author tells it with, when performing poetry.
