Wow, wow, wow... Isabella deals with many things in this book. She is dealing with her parent's divorce (white mom/ black dad) Dad moves away for years and then moves back. Izzy has to deal with her "mixed-ness" and how people perceive her, comments made and how she responds. She also has to deal with parents having new relationships and getting remarried. Classmates that are judgmental and racist. And the SHOCKER that I didn't see coming was police profiling and the shooting. I love this book for giving people a window to see how others live and a mirror to those going through the same issues. Can't wait to share this with my students!
