Included in Booklist's Fall 2019 Youth Preview Included in Publishers Weekly's African-American Interest Young Readers's Titles, 2019-2020 Included in In the Margins's 2020 Recommended Fiction List With a tough exterior and brash attitude, Naomi is an authentic character in an unfortunate yet accurate picture of modern-day foster care in the UK.The ending is neither predictable nor sugarcoated, leaving readers rooting for this determined heroine. Despite the foibles of his tragic characters, a redemptive quality is present-persevering-a testament of the human will to survive against all odds.Highly recommended. Wheatle has delivered a definitive narrative steeped in cultural philosophy and human sensibilities.
