A 6th or 7th grade novel from the writer of Brown Girl Dreaming. In New York, in Brooklyn there is a school. Inside that school are a group of 6 unique individuals. Each of a different race, with different experiences, and different backgrounds. They find the right teacher at the right time. She takes them to a room - an abandoned room where they can go without supervision and talk. They talk about their lives and what is going on around them. Immigration, racism, bullying, and prison. It's a quick, easy read. It's really well written - the figurative language in this is so good. It could be set anywhere in the US really. All in all, I say: READ IT
