What a cute book! I really enjoyed reading about Ebony and her love for space that she shared with her grandfather. She had a very vivid imagination and it was fun to read about what she saw versus the reality of what was going on. Overall reading this and just imaging myself being in New York City during the summertime as a kid just felt like freedom! I will say that the ending felt abrupt and when an issue arose in the story it felt unresolved. I experienced shock while I read it but the characters seemed detached which was unexpected to me. Aside from that I enjoyed the story and I couldn’t help myself from reading about a nerdy black girl!
