![]() ![]() I loved this juvenile novel about race in America.Īmal is unhappy that her father requires her to stay home and keep house while her mother is ill. She is thrilled that the relationships are being made official… but two weddings in one day?! Blended by Sharon Draper, 2018 The girl does not know how to deal with all of this. Izzy is just getting used to the new normal when her parents decide to get married. The two miss each other during the weeks they are apart. Izzy idolizes Darren similarly, she seems to be the apple of his eye. Living in two places with three backpacks (one for music items) can be a drag, but at least Izzy wins a new awesome big brother, Darren. Things are going as well as can be expected while Isabella is shuffled back and forth each week like a load of laundry. ![]() ![]() Isabella's dad commences dating a black woman, and her mother is increasingly spending time with a white man. The reverberations of this news shake the girl to her core. She loves both her parents and staunchly faces the world, firmly ensconced between them. Izzy is tired of fielding quizzical looks when she is with kin, as if people are wondering where she belongs or whose child she is. At first, this revelation throws her white mother for a loop luckily, she becomes 100% supportive of her daughter's idenity. ![]() Isabella is half-black and half-white, but she identifies as black. ![]()
