Life can change in an instant. When youâ??re wrongfully accused of a crime. When a virus shuts everything down. When the girl you love moves on. Andre Jackson is determined to reclaim his identity. But returning from juvie doesnâ??t feel like coming home. His Portland, Oregon, neighborhood is rapidly gentrifying, and COVID-19 shuts down school before he can return. And Andreâ??s suspicions about his arrest for a crime he didnâ??t commit even taint his friendships. Itâ??s as if his whole life has been erased. The one thing Andre is counting on is his relationship with the Whitaker kidsâ??especially his longtime crush, Sierra. But Sierraâ??s brother Eric is missing, and the facts donâ??t add up as their adoptive parents fight to keep up the act that their racially diverse family is picture-perfect. If Andre can find Eric, he just might uncover the truth about his own arrest. But in a world where power is held by a few and Andre is nearly invisible, searching for the truth is a dangerous game. Critically acclaimed author Kim Johnson delivers another social justice thriller that shines a light on being young and Black in Americaâ??perfect for fans of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and Dea Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

There's a lot happening in this book. I thought about the books Invisible Man and Native Son, and I think this title is an homage to both. It's a look at the ways race, power, policing play out in contemporary life. The book is rooted in Portland and delves into the early days of COVID and the racial unrest after George Floyd's killing. The family next door is not what they appear and their fates are intimately ties with his.
I found Andre a character for whom to cheer, even when he makes choices that seem ill advised. He's got a supportive family and is connected with a number of mentors who help guide him. ( )
