The writing—OMG OMG such good writing! The story was a good one and it was very familiar to me and aligned with what I know to be true and my experiences...highly recommend, would be good 5th-9th grade as a whole book study because there are so many different topics you could explore like the school to prison pipeline, prison abolitionists, power dynamics and the abuse of power, hope and faith, the butterfly effect, etc

wow. this was such a powerful book, and knowing the backstory of the author just adds even more depth to it. this is the first book i’ve read that was written in verse, and it was phenomenal. definitely a must read.
