Take Back the Block by Chrystal D. Giles

4.0

It’s more 3.5 ⭐️ for me, mostly because I just generally don’t enjoy juvenile fiction as much as YA or adult fiction. This is such an important topic of gentrification, and the book tackles it in a way that younger kids would be able to understand. It’s a must for upper elementary and middle school libraries and classrooms. The characters were distinct and interesting. The humor and personality of the narrator was good as well.
