Reviews
Book raises mature themes of social prejudices. Very interesting book that absorbs you as a reader.

Could not recommend this book enough! So thought provoking to see the world as we know it flipped on its head and understand how other cultures feel and are treated. It is emotional and exciting and Blackman really has a way of writing that puts you right there in the book with the characters.

I was engrossed in this book. I found it very emotionally gripping. I felt that students would enjoy this due to the fact it connects with the intended teen audience on a maturity level sometimes missed by other young adult texts. Definitely recommend this for readers 13+
